Meridians Baseball

Every Meridian hits again as we finish it up in 5 innings (Final:  11-0).   Fugate dominates again allowing only 1 (infield) hit while striking out 8 in 4 innings.   Conor makes his return and works the 5th coaxing a double play.

Reese leads the way with 3 knocks (2 with a strained hamstring), scoring 3 times and on-base all 4 times.   Moore, Ryan Williams (both on-base 3 times) and Fugate with multi-hit days as well.   Ryan stretches just enough for his triple while both Fugate and Kraus (2 BBs) score twice each.   Fugate steals two bags and Kraus even steals one!   Ryan, Parkhurst and Lewis each with 2 RBI on the day.   Reese, Ryan, Moore and Parkhurst all take balls to the outfield wall.

Even for the NKABL, this was one of the widest strike zones ever known to mankind, and yet somehow we still earn 7 walks.   Parkhurst gets hit by a pitch with blood to prove it and almost gets rung up anyway.   Field umpire laughs right along with us watching the strike zone get abused with bouncing strikes and lost balls.
