Meridians Baseball

We go down easily right away in the top of the 1st with a good pitcher on the mound and then they push 2 runs across in the bottom half, but Blain Williams wakes us all up with a laser over the right-centerfield fence that got out very quickly.   Moore scores on that after a HBP and then comes through with a big 2-out, 2-RBI base hit in the 3rd after they force 2 more across.   Blain holds them there through the 6th and then helps himself again launching the game winner to right-center again (very high, but not too high as it gets lost midway up the tree line).   Reese comes in for the Save.

Two double plays (always tough on Meinken's infield) started by Fread and Ryan Williams with turns by McClung and Ryan.   Soto takes one off the glove, wrist and face, but gets the put out.   2 hits for Ryan and 2 BBs for Derek Williams.   Best contest of the year so far in the NKABL as the Meridians move to 14-1.
