Meridians Baseball

Meridians end up with a 1st round game after all until the call comes Saturday morning that the team that afternoon won't have the players.  We move into Sunday then expecting to see C. White Tile even though they're the #2 seed.  We took the season series (2-1) from them, but the team that beat us in late July is the one that showed up.  They didn't hit quite as well as they did then and we didn't play as quite as poorly as we did then either, but the result (4-10) was the same and we get sent to the loser's bracket.   We bounce right back though and take care of an assembly of Joe's Crab Shack and C. White Tile players in 5 innings (10-0).

Reese goes all 7 innings in Game 1 trying to repeat his victory over the same team earlier in August.   Blain goes the 5 innings for the Win in Game 2.   Moore loses his chance to toss again, this time by a McClung walk-off bomb down the line into the playground to invoke the 10-run rule in Game 2.

Blain with 2 runs and 2 doubles (he thought he parked one of them) and McClung with 2 hits and a run in Game 1.   A great attempt by Blain in left center and then the throw from Moore and relay by McClung to get a runner at the plate.   Great snag and tag by Derek Williams who caught all 12 innings.

McClung leads the way in Game 2 with 3 hits, 3 RBI and 3 runs.   Moore with 2 runs including an inside-the-park HR.   RJ with a multi-hit game as well.   Derek Williams with a triple.   Moore and Fread with 2 RBI each.
