Meridians Baseball

Derek Reese continues his extra-curricular activities by moonlighting with the Patriots and picking up his 4th straight win for them (4-0).   This time going 6 innings giving the Patriots a sweep of the Royals from their rained out Sunday DH.   Soto chimes in with a hit and an RBI in the effort.

Reese goes 3-0 for the Friday night Patriots making up their rained-out Sunday schedule.   So while the Meridians get their second week in row washed out, Reese stays sharp on the hill with his second Complete Game in two weeks.   Soto adds 2 hits and an RBI to the cause.

Derek Reese gets his 2nd win in as many appearances for the Patriots, this time starting and going the full 7 innings over the Cincinnati Brew Crew to sweep the rained out Sunday DH.   Reese was efficient on the night getting several ground balls keeping the defense busy.

We have 12 guys ready to go Saturday night, but find only 7 at the field on Sunday with two call offs, one "no ride" and one "I'm sick" (that one comes 5 minutes after the scheduled game time).   The shuffle finds us with a deck off of the Dodgers bench to fill our holes.   Our pitcher then goes down running to 1st in the 1st inning so then we're at 6 of our own.   We do start the scoring right away and keep it somehwat close for awhile, but end up cruising to a 13-3 victory in 7 innings.   Kraus gets the Win.   Daniel "Hambone" Hamilton gets the Silver Slugger for the day while amazing us all by sliding on his back into 2nd...  

Thanks to the 5 Meridians who did make it out and the last-minute subs.

Members of the Meridians lend a helping hand Friday night to the Patriots club making up a rained out game.   Derek Reese gets the Win in relief going the final 2 innings, walking twice at the plate.  Ryan (BB) and RJ (double, BB) shore up the middle infield and Soto (2 BBs also) spends time at each corner.   Patriots outlast a young, spirited Oak Hills/Elder team (Cincinnati Brew Crew) in extra innings.
