Meridians Baseball

Meridians swelter into 2 CRC matches on Memorial Day weekend and, as per usual with the holiday weekend, a mix-matched squad.   We do get Gater and Reese back on the bump, but we drop two heartbreakers to the Royals (Finals:  3-4, 6-7).

Highlights include a diving snag by J-Love in Left, Gater striking out the side in the 6th ~ taking a pitch in the teeth and then finishing the game back on the hill;  multi-hit afternoons for Reese, Herbstreit and Ehrhardt.

Reese tosses another complete game as well after catching all of Game 1.   We see our potential tying run thrown out at the plate to end Game 1 and after taking the lead in the 6th on an Ehrhardt-called squeeze (executed perfectly by Couture), unfortunate errors cost us the finale.
