Game 1 vs. LM Panthers

RESULTS:
LM Dragons 8, Bearcats 6 (One inning left to play)

GREAT PITCHING
Great pitching by DJ Kenney and Stephen Babcock! DJ went 3 solid innings with 5 strike outs, while Steve went 1 inning with 2 Ks!

BIG BATS
Nice hard hit by Andrew Johnson who got a two bagger bringing Bradley Smith around to score. Nice job Andrew! Nat Polley had a solid hit that was fielded down the first baseline. He was the first of the game to put a bat on the ball! Keep it up, Nat!

GOOD EYE
A few guys did a nice job not swinging at any garbage and took a walk or two for the team. Grant Mayer scored twice on walks and was the first to score for the Bearcats! Great base running Grant! Way to take a walk when the pitcher's not throwing anything to hit.

HANGING TOUGH
Joey Trewieler touched them all after getting hit by a pitch. Joey, I know that wrist is going to be sore; that pitch got you pretty good. Way to hang tough!

GREAT FIELDING
Great job behind the plate by David Osborne who hustled after every loose ball, and Bradley Smith who tagged a guy out stealing home and nearly threw a guy out trying to steal 3rd. And nice fielding by Cliff Blackwood at 1st! In left field Andrew Johnson was only about 4 inches too short, but he was moving his feet and nearly got under that hard hit fly ball. Great job guys!
