Meridians Baseball

Slow start to both games, but we figure it out pretty quickly and stay in control all afternoon.   McClung gets the CG win in Game 1 (9 K's) with Daron Williams getting his first CG for the Meridians in his Game 2 win.   Daron shines on this day with only 5 put outs in the field while he strikes out the rest = 16 K's!   4 of the other outs handled by his brothers with Blain finding 2 of them dropping into his glove in center and Derek wiping the other two off the bases by throwing out a runner at 3rd and picking another off of 1st.   Derek's 2-week layoff didn't cool off his bat as he doubled and went yard at Roselawn 1.

K.C. flashbacks to Little League and keeps running all day until they finally get him out.   (Scored himself from 1st the first time though.)   Netherly causes our adversary dugout discontent when he keeps trying to pop out to the catcher before finding his stroke.   After a 2-6 start to the season, the Meridians have won 7 of their last 8.

(Finals:  8-1 vs. Cincinnati Royals and 9-2 vs. The Heat)
