BRAVES CORRAL MUSTANGS

THE BRAVES PLAYED HOST TO THE MORICHES BAY MUSTANGS ON TUESDAY NIGHT AT MORICHES PARK. THE BRAVES HANDED LOP THE BALL FOR THE GAME.

THE WEATHER WAS A HEAVY MIST ALL NIGHT WHICH AFFECTED ALOT OF THE BALLS BEING THROWN OR PITCHED. THE WEATHER DID NOT AFFECT THE BRAVES MUCH AS THEY JUMPED OUT TO A 12 - 0 LEAD BY INNING 2. THE BRAVES PUNCHED OUT 7 HITS LED BY ANDREW WITH 2 INCLUDING A DOUBLE AND 6 WALKS. THEIR DEFENSE WAS VERY GOOD.

THE MUSTANGS BATTLED BACK WITH A FEW WALKS AND SCORED 3 RUNS ON WEATHER RELATED BALLS THROWN AROUND THE FIELD. THE BRAVES PITCHER LOP WENT 3 INNINGS STRIKING OUT 5 AND WALKING 7.

RHINO TOOK THE HILL IN THE FOURTH AND IT SHOWED THAT THE WEATHER WAS REALLY STARTING TO BE A FACTOR AS THE MIST TURNED INTO HEAVY DRISSLE AND THE PITCHERS COULD REALLY NOT GET A GOOD GRIP ON THE BALL CAUSING ALOT OF BALLS OUT OF THE STRIKE ZONE.

THE BRAVES KEPT BATTLING AND BROUGHT IN WHEELS TO TRY AND CLOSE OUT THE FOURTH AND THAT HE DID. THE BRAVES WERE KEPT OFF THE BOARD IN THE FOURTH AND WHEELS CAME IN TO STRIKE OUT THE SIDE IN THE FIFTH.

THE BOYS KNEW THEY NEEDED TO SCORE A RUN TO END THE GAME IN THE FIFTH. AJ LED OFF WITH A WALK THAN STOLE 2ND AND THIRD TO HAVE D-BOMB SCORE HIM WITH A GAME WINNING BASE HIT TO EARN THE BRAVES THEIR SECOND VICTORY OF THE SEASON WITH A 13 - 3 WIN.
