Meridians Baseball

Meridians survive two no-shows and a call-off to still easily handle their Semi-Final, which was a rematch of last year's NKABL Final.   Ludlow puts their best foot forward right away in the first - plating three, but that would be about it as Mears quiets their bats the rest of the way.   Meanwhile, the Meridians only answer with 1 in the bottom half with a loud double (triple if it didn't bounce out) by Jaspers, tagging on Mears' ball and scoring on a wild pitch.   That was just the kick-start though as we plate 4 in the 2nd and 5 in the 3rd.   The production takes the 4th inning off, but we wrap it up in the 5th - scoring 4 to walk-off with the 10-run rule.  Final: 14-4

Mears with 9 K's in the 5 innings, helping himself with 2 hits, RBI, R while every Meridian contributes:  multi-hits days for Rutherford (2B), Scheffel, Bolia (2B), Biscotti and Soto - Runs from Jaspers (2), Reese, Scheffel (2), Bolia (2), Biscotti and Soto (definitely missing some here with our book in dry-erase format...) - RBI from Jaspers, Rutherford (2), Muench, Bolia, Biscotti (2) and Soto (2, including the walk-off knock).
