Meridians Baseball

Meridians call in most of the rest of the roster for the Memorial weekend game and see hot bats right away.   I turned in a score of 13-9, but it might have been 16 actually.   Great start to the season and on the hill for Blain Williams who gets the Win with Derek Reese making his Meridians debut getting the 3 inning Save.   Both help their own causes with multi-hit days along with Moore (3 with 2 HR & HBP), Parkhurst (4, taking bases at will and forcing two plays at the plate), Soto, D. Williams and Clim.

Offensive highlights were Moore’s two moon shots and Pratt’s bomb.   Both hit their first Meridians’ home runs after each having a season each of wood bat play with us under them.   Pratt didn’t even "get" his, but still got it out easily and Moore’s 2nd shot had both 1st class and coach passengers on it.

We get sloppy in the middle and at the end of the game giving up some runs, but a web gem in the shortstop hole by Ryan Wiiliams with a diving snare and throw.   Pratt plays 3 positions, but finds himself in right field in time for a perfect throw to cut down a runner at home.
