Visitor team summary goes here
Tough game and close until the end. Both teams were very competitive and had good sportsmanship. There were hits by Kallen, Adam, Mark and a Grand Slam by Grant - way to hit guys. Defensively we played better. Grant, Kallen and Richie had 2-3 strikeouts each. Mark had a tag at first for an out, Grant had a throw out at first and Kallen made a double play with a catch and a throw back to Mark at first. Good job on defense guys - keep it up!!
tough loss. Tommy Donovan started the game with a smashed single into left. And that was our only safe hit all night. We made a bunch of contact--but right to the marlins who did a great job in the field. Defensively--Cody Taylor made an incredible diving catch in left field saving a sure triple. Tommy made a diving play from the pitchers mound. Devin Egenberger made a nice catch in center & a great hustle play from center beating the left fielder to the ball on a deep hit & throwing a bullet to Tommy covering third for an out.
Awesome games boys! We started with a huge inning on Tuesday scoring 7 runs against the Pirates horribly calibrated pitching machine and closed with Peter seeling the deal with a strike out on Friday. One seven run first included singles by CeJay, Peter, Reece, Nate, Connor, Ethan, Nate and Carver then topped of with a solid double by CeJay. Defensively Archer got the back into Wheels (CeJay) who ran down a runner trying to stretch a triple a one base to far. Conner made 2 plays at second. Peter had a solid two innings on the hill striking out five.
Tough game--delayed due to rain & finished in the rain. Hits--Joey Donovan 2 (single, double), Tommy Donovan, Devin Egenberger, Dylan Barnes, Mason Tyler. In the field--Mason Tyler pitcher to first, Tommy caught pop up at short. Pitching--Devin pitched the first & part of the second. Mason Tyler pitched for 3 outs in the second--coming in with the bases loaded, pitched the 3rd & got them 3 up 3 down in the 4th.
great game Cubs!! Pitching--Tommy Donovan the first 2--picking up 4 k`s & making an awesome diving catch. Devin Egenberger came in for the 3rd, picked up 2 K`s & Joey Donovan pitched the 4th. Batting--Tommy 1 hit, Devin 1 hit, Dylan Barnes smacked 3 hits, Joey had 2 nice hits. Tough guy of the game--Mason Tyler--hit with a pitch all 3 times up to bat. Thanks to Carter Glawe for substituting against his big brother & helping us to the win.
We started off slow and made some poor defensive decisions. We hung in there and fought back with hits from Mark, Kallen and Adam - good job boys. We had some other hits by Grant, Mark and Dylan, however the Cubs were in the right place to make the catch. The rematch should be a good game as well.
5-26-10. The Cubs and Marlins made up their rain out from 4-24-10 on a much nicer night for baseball. The Cubs pitched Brandon Bui who gave up 1 inning in the to of the first when Tryston Durham hit an RBI double. The Marlins countered with Peyton Stephens and the Cubs greeted him with 2 runs thanks to an RBI double by Joe Crowley. The next inning went scoreless and it lokked like it would be another close battle. In the bottom af the 3rd, Derek Johnson led off with a single for the Cubs. Nick Perez moved him to second with a nice sacrifice bunt. Brandon Bui singled and then Brenden Smith ripped a line drive off of the center field fence. (He gives the credit to a pep talk from Max Evans) The Cubs eventually scored 4 runs and the final score was Cubs 6, Marlins 1.
Preston Thompson and Darek Tingle pitched well for the Sox holding the A`s to 4 runs. Darek Tingle had a 2 out triple in the top of the 5th to get the Sox within 1. Isaiah Henrichs hit a hard line drive but right at the short stop to end the rally. Great job by both teams tonight.
It was a scorcher....and Alec hung behind the plate for the entire game and was fabulous!! Mitch pitched a great game. This game was won by awesome teamwork! Oh, and having fabulous coaches is a major plus!
The Yankees ran into a business-like Pirates team and just couldn`t keep the second inning run going. The boys played hard through the heat and kept having fun no matter what the score. Hits were hard to come by on this night with each player getting one hit apiece and Jacob Imhoff getting two. Tyler Crall, Blake Deal, Ryan Mohwinkle and Dalton Hinders all picked up outs. Jacob and Nathan Tharp tried their hand at pitching and Jacob pick up one strike out while Nathan had two.
Way to go Pirates! These boys love to hit and it shows with every game! With 9 of 10 batters finding first or better, the Pirates did not give into the afternoon heat or a talented Yankees line-up. Jordan Lawless was back at 100% hammering balls to the green grass and adding an out with his glove on a popper. Caleb Wenthe did a nice job of delivering strong K`s from the mound while being backed up by a focused and energetic defense and a strong showing at short stop by Case Bowlin. Base hits from Nick Wenck, Caleb Wenthe, Max Mitchell, Austin Charikov, Joe Fisk, Jordan Lawless, Chase Bowlin and Tyson Guard helped to end the day early with a 13-4 win!
5-22-10. On the first "hot" day of the Spring, the Cubs and Reds dug in for a 7 inning classic. Although the game ended in an 11-11 tie, the game belonged to Brandon Scholl for the Reds. Brandon hit a home run, a double and a single. Brandon Bui, for the Cubs hit 2 doubles and 2 singles, and Joe Crowley hit 3 singles and was robbed on a nice play by Brandon Scholl on his 4th at bat. Scholl held the normally powerful Cubs scoreless in the bottom of the 7th to cement the tie game. Congratulations also to Adam VanGorp who struck out 4 of 7 Cub batters. Brenden Smith and Parker Pote pitched well for the Cubs and neither allowed a run. But on a hot day, the Cubs used other pitchers and a combination of 4 errors, 3 passed balls and 3 hit batsmen kept the win out of reach. It was a well fought game and the rematch is set for June 3rd.
Best defense we`ve played all year!! First inning--Tommy Donovan 2 nice plays at short & Seth Curry nice catch at first. 2nd--Seth fielded grounder at first and gunned to Tommy to get the lead runner at 2nd, Cody Taylor nice play at third throwing across the field for an out. In the 3rd--heads up play from Ryan Ruppert in right field to fire into 2nd for the force out. In the 4th--Nate Guffey nice catch in right/center. At plate--Tommy 3 hits, Devin Egenberger-1, Seth-1, Dylan-1, Joey Donovan-2, Mason Tyler 3, Cody 1.
This was a very competitve game. We jumped on top early with hits from Dylan, Kallen, Grant and Adam - way to hit guys. Mark kept them at bay with 7 strikeouts (nice control Mark). We lost our focus a little bit and the Pirate fought back to take the lead. We hung in there and Conner had a couple hits, Kallen hit another HOME RUN and Anthony had a key hit to keep the rally alive. Nic scored the go ahead run - great job Nic. Dylan had another good showing pitching with good control. Way to stay positive guys and not give up.
After a long break and a chance to dry out the Pirates were ready for a game! Although the entire line-up would have hits tonight, the usual cannons were quiet and further subdued by a tight defense from the White Sox with only two doubles from Chase Bowlin and Caleb Wenthe. A solid pitching performance from Caleb Wenthe and Joe Fisk helped with another Pirates win. On his first night of pitching, Joe Fisk brought on the K`s to all 5 batters faced. Way to chear for your teammates!
It was a Friday night game and the bats started out hot for the Yankees. Ashton White, Tyler Crall, Russ Hollingshead, Nathan Tharp, Kale Guenther, Ryan Mohwinkle, Dalton Hinders and Jacob Imhoff all had two hits on the night. Blake Deal and Aiden Z. added one hit each. Russ and Tyler were the big hitters for the night with doubles. On defense, Kale and Dalton collected two outs apiece, while Nathan and Tyler added one. Dalton also struck out two at the plate.
This game was played awesome and was so fun to watch. Both teams did a great job and the sportsmanship was top notch. To end the game we heard a loud crack of the bat and Lucas Stocker hit the game winning homer over the fence. Good teamwork Yankees!
5-21-10. On a perfect Friday night for baseball, Brandon Bui, for the Cubs, and Peyton Stephens, for the Marlins, put on a show for the crowd. For 3 innings, each held the other team scoreless. In the 4th inning, Stephens was still throwing well, but the Cub bats caught up to him. Cody Hutchins led off with a double and Bui, Crowley and Camp followed with singles. The Cubs plated 4 in the 4th and added 1 in the 5th. Brandon Bui stayed strong and finished a complete game 5-0 shutout for the Cubs.
5-19-10. On a cool Wednesday night, the Cubs beat the Reds 7-3. The game got off to a shaky start for the Cubs when normally accurate Brandon Bui hit to Reds with pitches. The Reds used the free base runners and a triple by Adam VanGorp to score 1 in the top of the first. Tyler Donovan held the Cubs in their half of the inning, and then the Cubs brought in Joe Crowley, who held the Reds scoreless for 2 innings. The Cubs bats came alive and they scored 5 in the bottom of the 2nd with singles by Jared Uhlman, Perker Pote and Luke Samuelson. They scored 2 more in the 4th with singles by Brandon Bui and Brenden Smith. Parker Pote closed the game for the Cubs by holding the Reds to 2 runs over 2 innings.
Darek Tingle and Collin Lister combined for the win on the mound for the White Sox. Solid base running and good pitching kept the White Sox in the game. Great job boys.
Great job Seth Curry, Cody Taylor & Christian Williams--all 3 got on 2x`s & scored 2x`s. Too much time off between games showed at the plate tonight. In the field--Christian made a nice play at second, Cody at nice catch in left/center, Ryan Ruppert made a bobbling catch in right/center & Tommy made an out at home on a runner trying to steal. Pitching--Devin Egenberger nice job in the first 3, Tommy pitched the rest. We had some opportunities to make some plays in the field that came up short.
Rough game with cold bats early and they came alive just a little too late. Adam and Anthony got their first taste of pitching and both had good efforts. The team as a whole needs a little more positive attitude and enthusiasm.
5-17-2010. The Cubs shook off the rust they showed against the As and came out swinging. They equalled a season high by placing 24 base runners. Travis Johnston, Jared Uhlman and Joe Crowley pitched well for the Cubs and held Pleasantville to 2 runs. All Cubs hit the ball well. Some fell in and some were fielded nicely by the P-Ville Yankees. In the end, the Cubs prevailed with a 16-2 win.
The Pirates showed up ready to find their pitch today with every player hitting and scoring at least once.
It was a tight game on a Saturday afternoon and the Yankees came up just short. The bats were hot with Jakob Imhoff, Dalton Hinders, Ryan Mohwinkle, Kale Guenther, Ashton White and Blake Deal all collecting 4 hits each. Nathan Tharp and Aiden Z. each added three hits. Ryan Mohwinkle had the biggest bat of the day with two triples! Jakob and Dalton collected an out each with Blake Deal finishing an out at home plate.
The pirates started off slow but were able to shake off the voodoo in the second inning scoring the max allowed 7 runs and adding 2 more in the third for the W. Hits were delivered from the entire Pirates line-up of Tyson Guard, Austin Charikov, Jordan Lawless, Chase Bowlin, Caleb Wenthe, Max Mitchell, Nick Wenck, Caleb Welch and Jett Thomas! Congrats to Jordan Lawless, Caleb Wenthe and Tyson Guard for their DOUBLES and RBI`s.
The Yankees ran into a tough White Sox team on a Friday night. Jakob, Dalton, Blake, Kale, Russ, Nathan, Ashton, Ryan, Tyler and Aiden all had 2 hits each. Jakob, Kale, Ashton and Nathan all had outs for the night with Nathan adding 2. Dalton and Ryan had the big hits for the night with each having one double.
5-14-2010. After a day and a half of no rain, the Cubs and As were both ready to play. On this night, it turns out that the As were a little more ready. Josh Beener, for the As, pitched 33 innings and gave up only 1 run. His biggest contribution was hitting a hanging change-up out of the park in left field for a 2 run homer. That was enough runs for the As. The Cubs managed only the 1 run on the way to a 7-1 loss. Caleb Camp pitched well for the Cubs--1 inning and no runs. Brandon Bui and Jared Uhlman who are both usually dependable for the Cubs got roughed up. Congratulations to the As on a well deseved win.
A hard fought game. There were some first timers in this game - it was the first time we played as a team; it was the first time we had two home runs (Kallen and Grant - way to hit guys); it was the first time Richie pitched (he had 5 strikeouts - good job Richie); it was the first time Kallen flipped over backwards to catch a ball; and best of all it was the first time the Team didn`t give up when behind and fought back to tie it up. I`m proud of you guys!!
Mason Tyler played a good game--game in during the second inning with bases loaded to get the third out. Pitched the 3rd. At the plate had a nice single--hard hit into right. Seth Curry had a nice double, Devin Egenberger nice hit & Tommy Donovan had 2 hits.
In the opening game of a day-night double header, the Yankee hitters roughed up Cub pitching early for a 10-0 lead. Mitch Tyler pitched 3 shut out innings for the Yankees before the Cub hitters caught up with his speed in the 4th. The Cubs scored 5 in the fourth and things were looking like they might turn the Cubs way. Instead, the Yankees changed to Alec Iverson and the Cubs didn`t score again. Although Alec didn`t strike anyone out, the change of speeds caused the Cubs to hit 5 gound balls and 1 pop-up. Brenden Smith and Caleb Camp pitched well for the Cubs, but the Yankee hitters liked the cold weather and it turned out to be a better game for the Yankees as they took the opener 11-5.
The team bats came alive with three hits from Mark, two from Dylan and Grant and additional hits from Conner, Kallen, Richie, Anthony and Carter. Grant and Dylan combined for 9 strikeouts. Mark and Dylan were able to get outs at first and Richie caught a line drive for the last out of the game. Way to play as a team guys!!
Collin Lister had 3 hits and scored 3 runs and Darek Tingle added 2 hits. Solid pitching by Preston Thompson, Darek Tingle and Collin Lister.
Nice job Yankees. We beat ourselves today--the difference in the game was the Yankees made plays in the field and we didn`t. Gave them 4 extra outs--plays that we could have made but didn`t. At the plate--Tommy Donovan started the game with a triple but was caught trying to strech it out, Dylan Barnes had a nice single in the first, Mason Tyler 1, Seth Curry 1, Joey Donovan 1. Devin Egenberger hit the ball hard all 3 times up--but the Yankees made the play each time. Cody Taylor grounded out in the second. On the mound Devin started the game going 2 innings--had to come out early after taking one off his pitching hand trying to make a play. Dylan Barnes came in for the 3rd inning. Joey Donovan pitched the 4th. Mason Tyler did an awesome job coming in with runners on to get out of a jam in the 5th--Joey made a nice catch in left center.
5-8-2010. In the second game of the day-night double header, the Cubs and Yankees played an exciting game. The Cubs scored 2 in the top of the first on aggressive base running by Joe Crowley and Brenden Smith. The Yankees ame back slugging in the bottom of the inning and plated 4 with doubles by Iverson and Sprague, singles by Tice and Shanahan and an error on the Cubs. The 2nd went scoreless, and the Yankees scored 2 in the 3rd. The score remained 6-2 in favor of the Yankees until the top of the 6th when the Cubs scored 8 times on 6 singles and 4 walks. Jared Uhlman held the Yankees to 1 run in their half of the inning and the Cubs game from behind for a 10-7 win. Patience and persistence paid off and the Cubs learned that the game isn`t over until the end. congratulations to both teams on a well fought battle.
This was an even match against a quality opponent. We jumped on top early with three doubles by Kallen, Richie and Grant - way to go guys. It was tough hanging in there against a well coached team and we didn`t give up. Our team ran out of gas and the bats got cold. There will be better days ahead.
6-3-10. The Cubs and Reds made up a game that was scheduled for May 7th and was rained out. This game turned out to have League Championship implications. The last time the two teams met, the Reds claimed an 11-11 tie, which opened the door for the Yankees. In a must win game for the Cubs, Cole Preston, for the Reds pitched a good game, but the Cubs prevailed 6-0. Brandon Bui and Travis Johnston pitched very well for the Cubs, and Brendan Smith continued to hit well. He had a single, was hit by a pitch and hit a triple. The entire Cubs team played well in the field and several players hit the ball hard. The highlight of the game was a double play from Brendan Smith to Travis Johnston to Quinton Thompson and back to Brendan Smith at home plate. Post game celebration was held at Fizz. Congratulations to the Cubs and thanks to the parents for getting all of the players to practice.
Collin Lister and Darek Tingle both had 2 hits to lead the Sox at the plate. Tingle 3 K`s, Lister 3 K`s and Isaiah Henrichs 3 K`s handled the pitching for the Sox. Nolan Kennedy, Brock Kyner, Max Guard and Jayden Blake combined to score 5 of the Sox 8 runs. Great job Boys!
The showdown between the two undefeated teams started off in a close one with the Mets up 1 run after the 1st inning. They faced the juggernaut of Tingle and Lister and runs were scarce after that. Conner and Kallen combined for 7 strikeouts over three innings. Shake it off boys, we have two on Saturday.
Great game Cubs!! Everybody got on base at least 1 time. Tommy Donovan had an inside the park homerun & a big double. Devin Egenberger had 2 hits, Mason Tyler had 2 hits, Seth Curry blasted a double into right. Runs scored: Tommy 3, Dylan Barnes 1, Devin 1, Nate Guffey 1, Cody Taylor 1, Christian Williams 1, Ryan Rupert 1 & Joey Donovan 1.

Tommy pitched the first 2 plus innings picking up 3 k`s and Seth Curry came in and struck out 2.
This game was a real nail biter! Great pitching Mitch and Lucas! The boy`s bats were "on" and some great base running won this game. Great job Yankees!
The Cubs continued their winning ways against an A`s team that was leading the league in hitting. Brandon Bui pitched another strong game, allowing only 2 base runners over 4 innings. Quinton Thompson finished the game for the Cubs and did not allow any runs. The Cubs had a very balanced attack on offense as 9 of 12 players each scored 1 run. Travis Johnston and Parker Pote each doubled for the Cubs and several players turned in good defensive plays, especially a near double play from Jared Uhlman to Brenden Smith. It turned out to be a good night for the Cubs to invite the photographers to the game. Maybe we should invite them every night.
The Pirates showed up ready for action after a week off due to rain. The bats were energized right away with hits from Chase Bowlin, Tyson Guard, Joe Fisk and Jett Thomas. A pair of doubles and a homerun by Big Hitter-Caleb Wenck filled the dugout and stands with cheers adding 5 RBI`s. More doubles were hammered out by Jordan Lawless, Nick Wenck and Max Mitchell plus a triple from Austin Charikov ending the day in victory 12-2.
The bats were back for the Yankees against the A`s. Jacob Imhoff, Dalton Hinders, Blake Deal, Kale Guenther and Nathan Tharp lead the charge all collecting 3 hits each.

Russ, Ryan Mohwinkle and Tyler Crall each had 2 hits apiece and Ashton White and Aiden Z. each had a hit. On defense, Dalton, Jacob, Kale and Blake all combined for 4 outs. Good team work boys!
WOW....Mitch Tyler hit a ball that grew wings!!! Over the fence @ North Park, well over the fence. Way to go Mitch. We also had some great pitching and couple of really nice double plays.
On a perfect afternoon for baseball, the Cubs beat the Marlins 8-5. The game was close for the first two innings as Peyton Stephens and Brandon Bui were both pitching well. In the later innings, the Cubs wore down the Marlins pitching and scored 5 runs. The Marlins battled back to make it 6-4 as they found a few holes in the Cubs defense. The Cubs used aggressive base running by Brandon Bui and rbis by Parker Pote and Derek Johnson to open the game up to the final score of 8-5.

The boys had another great game. Kallen, Grant, Mark, Anthony, and Carter had some great hits. Grant, Dylan, Kallen had outs with Nic, Anthony, Carter, Adam, Richie, Mark all helping make backup defensive plays. I want to thank Carter for stepping up to help us out. Keep up the team work guys.
In the 2nd game of the double header, the Cubs and Yankees had a classic duel. The Cubs scored twice on aggressive base running by Joe Crowley and Brenden Smith. But in the bottom of the first, the Yankees continued to hit well. Two singles, two doubles and an error led to 4 Yankee runs. The Yankees got 2 more runs in the third on back to back Cub errors. Down 6-2, the Cub hitters could have given up on cold day, but patience paid off. In the sixth inning, the Cubs used 5 singles and 4 walks to earn 8 runs. Jared Uhlman pitched the last two innings for the Cubs and gave up only 1 run, preserving a 10-7 win for the Cubs.
Great job Cubs!! Tommy Donovan pitched the first 3 inings picking up 6 K`s, no hits, no runs!! Cody Taylor pitched the 4th & Nate Guffey pitched the 5th picking up 1 K.

Joey Donovan had 2 hits, Mason Tyler 1, Dylan Barnes 2 big hits, Seth Curry 2, Ryan Ruppert 1, Devin Egenberger 2.
The Cubs nipped the Yankees, 8-4, in extra innings. This game was a great example of the sportsmanship that should be shown in all sports. The game could have ended in 5 innings with the Yankees winning 3-1. In the top of the 6th, the Cubs came to bat at 7:17, and after a short discussion at home plate, it was decided to continue the game. Mitch Tyler pitched a gem for 5 innings; he gave up only 1 hit and struck out 14. The Cubs used a single by Luke Samuelson to start a small rally to tie the game in the 6th. In the 7th, the Cubs scored 5 and held the Yankees to 1. The game was well fought and well pitched by both teams. During the game, Nick Perez for the Cubs made a nice rolling catch in right field and Joe Crowley tagged Mitch Tyler out in a play at the plate that had everyone on the edge of their seats. Players of the game go to Mitch Tyler for the Yankees and Luke Samuelson for the Cubs. This was a fun and well played Little League game. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
Another shut out tonight with great pitching by Josh Beener. A great catch in center field by Tanner Hinders. Other good fielding plays by Max Evans, Nate Snyder, and Kenny McCaughey almost came up with a great catch in right field. Too many good hits to mention a great team effort tonight.

Darek Tingle got the start for the White Sox and went 1 & 1/3 innings striking out one batter. Collin Lister came in to pitch the last 1 & 2/3 innings striking out 2 batters and picking up the win for his 3rd on the season. The White Sox were limited to only 3 hits but none was bigger than a 2 out double by Nolan Kennedy that put the White Sox ahead 4-3. Nolan came around to score later in the inning on heads up base running and that sealed the win for the White Sox. GREAT JOB BOYS! Keep working hard!
tourney stas

The team started off a little slow this game falling behind 5-2 after two innings. The kids were patient and worked a lot of walks and with a couple key hits by Conner Smith and Anthony Hill, it sparked two productive innings (especially with some excellent team base running). Conner Smith had two strong innings of pitching facing only 7 batters, striking out six and allowing zero runs.
Good effort on our first game! Good job on the mound Chase, Alec and Mitch! Way to hang behind the plate Mckeehan and Alec. Additional help w/getting on base were: Ryan, Tanner, Brian, Evan, Lucas and Dylan. Mitch scored twice after slugging a double and a triple!

Pirates WIN 18-17! The Rookie Pirates won a hard fought season opener against a very capable White Sox team. All nine players found their way to home plate at least once with 3 runs each from Chase Bowlin, Tyson Guard and Jordan Lawless. Our big left hander, Joey Fisk had 3 runs and 3 RBI`s. Caleb Wenthe led the team with 4 runs and posted a triple on a solid hit to left field. The lights appeared to dim early for the Pirates in the fourth inning as the White Sox defense stepped up with two quick outs. That set the stage for a fireworks show as the Pirates lit up the bats for 5 base hits followed by a double from Nick Wenck. More singles from Jett Thomas, Austin Charikov and Ryan Roland kept the rally going for 7 runs to a lot of cheering from the Pirates bench and fans! Congratulations to Austin for getting out of the pickle between first and second! Jett Thomas drove in 2 game winning ribbies on a critical gapper to left field, locking in a come-from-behind victory for the Pirates. Great effort from both teams made for a competitive start to the season. Way to go boys! Thank you to our sponsor, Olson Limousin Farm.
The Yankees took a couple of innings to get warmed up, but once they got going, their bats were on fire scoring the maximum in both the 3rd and 4th inning. Jacob Imhoff lead the way with two doubles and a triple. Kale Guenther and Dalton Hinders each added a double and two singles. Nathan Tharp, Blake Deal, Tyler Crall, Russ Hollingshead, and Ashton White each had three hits for the day. Aiden Z. added two hits and Ryan Mohwinkle had one.

This was a very good first win for the Cubs. We were lead by Brandon Bui, who pitched for 4 innings and had 10 strikeouts. Travis Johnston pitched the last inning and didn`t give up any runs thanks partly to a very good play at 3rd base by Caleb Camp. The Cubs had 24 base runners and were led by Brandon Bui and Joe Crowley who each had perfect days at the plate-each reached base 4 times.
The team started off with a good eye and taking only good pitches and scored 4 runs in the first. Grant Mutch and Mark Hubbell combined for 16 strikeouts. The game went into an extra inning. Adam Reha had a hard fought AB and worked a walk. With his heads up play he stole 2B & 3B when the throws were off target and came home and slid under the tag for the winning run.
Tough start to the season. Tommy led the offense with 3 hits & 3 runs. Seth Curry had a nice hit in the first & scored 2 runs. Dylan Barnes had 2 nice hits & stole home in the first. Joey Donovan had a line drive single into right/center. Mason Tyler did an awesome job at catcher--getting 3 outs on plays at the plate.
Collin Lister pitched 5 and 2/3 innings striking out 12 batters to get the win for the White Sox on the mound. Darek Tingle came in to pitch in the 6th inning to get the final out on a strikeout. Brock Kyner and Darek Tingle lead the team at the plate with 2 hits each. Collin Lister scored 4 runs from the lead off spot for the White Sox.
What a beautiful night to start off our season against the A`s. The Marlins gave it a hard battle tonight but came up short in a 3-5 loss to a talented A`s team! In the first inning, we had a dynamic double out of Braxton Hinders. Collecting hits tonight were Jakob Beener (2), Nic McCay (2) and Ben DeKruyf. Hang in there boys, we`ll get them next time!
