1 Win and 1 Loss so far this week!

Sorry for the late entry, I was busy with the field yesterday. We lost 18-6 to Lamar on Monday night. Mason Roller and Derek Fulp each had 3 hits. Mental mistakes and lack of 2 out hits were the big problem. We left 15 runners on in seven innings.
Last Night was a lot of the same with leaving runners on. However, we played defense and made the big plays when we needed to for a 7-6 win in 8 innings. Riley Veith was the hero of the night for 6 innings. He kept Blue Eye, the 4th rank team in the state, off balance and took a lead into the seventh. He left one pitch up and out over the plate, and Blue Eye scored three runs on a three run homer. Down 6-4, Mason Roller walked to lead of the seventh and then Chris Bennett hit a two run homer to tie the ball game and send it to extra innings. In the top of the 8th with Blue Eye threatening, Trent Goetz got a ground ball to Chris Bennett at third for a double play. We loaded the bases with two outs and Chris came through again. He was hit with a pitch and pushed in the winning run. Bennett ended the day with 3 RBI's. Trent Goetz and Daniel Barrientos had 2 hits apiece and Mason Roller walked 4 times with a RBI single. We play at Diamond on Thursday at 4:30. See you there.

Hey guys,

Thats was a big win and one we really needed after the Lamar game.

Keep up the good work and never, ever quit.

We scored on the best pitchers they had and they are probably as good or better than anyone else we will see this year.

Keep up the good work tonight at Diamond and rattle dem bats!!!
