Landen Hill starts it off for the Orioles with a single. The inning ends with runs scored by Hill, Brad Monroe, Kelan Long and Jake Volo.

But the Rangers power back in the 3rd inning with singles by Glider, O’Brien, Meyer, and Wiley and take the lead, ending the inning 5-4. Intermittent, light rain makes for a challenging game, but both teams press on. The Orioles take back the lead with Monroe getting on base and scoring soon followed by Grant Brehm’s single RBI, scoring Long. The top of the 5th the Rangers score 3 more runs with a single by Windisch, RBI doubles by Meyer and Smith, scoring Windisch, O’Brien and Meyer. The Orioles fight back in the bottom of the 5th with singles by Ryan Welander and Nick Daniels, followed by an RBI single by Seth Knorr, scoring Welander.

Minor C, Bees v. Iron Birds, 3/29/12

Posted by Bill Church at Apr 6, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
 
For the Iron Birds, there were several great plays, but one that stood out was made by shortstop Roman Cianca, who robbed the Bee's Sean Carlin of extra bases when he caught a hard shot in the 4th inning. Cianca also starred at the plate, with several line drives that turned into doubles. Jacob George also turned in a very solid game for the Iron Birds. For the Bees, Kyle Palmer and Jaylene Duarte both came close to home runs, and Jack Feria also chipped in with some solid hitting. Kaden Chase fielded his position well and produced several key hits for the surging Bees.
