Minor C, Bees v. Timber Rattlers, 3/31/12

Minor C, Bees v. Timber Rattlers, 3/31/12
It was cold outside but warm on the field, where both teams made great plays that pleased the large crowd in attendance. This was also the first "kid pitch" game, and after some early struggles, both teams represented well in that regard.

For the Timber Rattlers, there were many excellent defensive plays, but none better than the catch of a line drive by pitcher Macie Manzo. Both Manzo and Mike Jacobson had outstanding days at the plate for the Timber Rattlers.

For the Bees, Nick Severin continued his hot streak with a bases loaded double and two other hits, while Kyle Donoho, Jaylene Duarte, and Nick Flum each hit well also. Donoho and Kaden Chase made several key plays in the field, and Nick Severin was awarded the game ball for the Bees for his overall strong play.
