Meridians Baseball

An umpire misfire delays the day, but Tanner's buddy steps up to call the DH for us.   Game 1 gets away from us as their 4th inning brings in 6 (1 already) with 3 more to follow in the 5th to wrap it up.   Soto breaks up the potential no-no with a clean liner to left with 1 out to spare.

We get back to real baseball again in Game 2, leading throughout with a close finish.   Kraus mops up Game 1, then steps up to start the finale as well.   JK knuckles his way to the Win, letting Cornett grap the 3-inning Save.   Final: 5-4 vs. Cincinnati Brew Crew

Web gem from Bowman who almost snags a shoestring liner in the 2nd base hole, keeps it within distance and then backhands the toss to Soto for the scoop.   Reese 'hoovers' a ball in the 3rd base hole for a tag & toss double play as well.   Tanner throws out the potential tying run at 3rd in the 7th of Game 2.

Soto tallies the only multi-hit afternoon (3), but a key RBI for the eventual winning run by Kraus in the 6th inning of Game 2 with a key steal by Bowman to get in scoring position for him.   Cornett scores twice in the finale with a SB to try and get in a 3rd time.
