Meridians Baseball

Bommer returns after his pre-season debut at UC the weekend prior to breeze through his first several innings, amassing 13 strikeouts with 75 pitches through 6 innings.   Striking out the side in each of the first 3 innings and retiring the side in order in the 4th as well, Boom starts the regular season in full stride.   Mears then shuts the door, striking out the side in the 7th.

While the Meridians' offense is still struggling, we still push across just enough to take home the victory - Final: 4-3 over the StarTunes.   Great over-the-shoulder catch by Couture in left while in full stride. 

RBI's by Reese (2-3, R), Kraus and Averwater - 2B, 2 Runs by Woltermann

We then pick up the Redhawks for a brief scrimmage afterwards.   Teams agree to metal bats and they want the field first.   Mears stays on the bump to retire their first few in short order and the Meridians proceed to bat twice through the lineup with the highlights being Reese tongue-punching a no-doubter high off the scoreboard in left center to shatter a light bulb (grand salami to boot) and Woltermann following suit later, golfing one off the scoreboard as well.   Reese steps up to the bump then to run through the rest of their lineup and we all call it a day.

Press Release:
