Meridians Baseball

A new field (Highland Hills Park, home of Muench's Highlands HS), a new opponent (LYC Raiders) and a much-improved Cincinnati Chill team result in two Wins (team's 150th overall), but injuries a plenty with half the team suffering from ankle, hand, hamstring and cheek ailments by the end of the weekend.

Bommer starts the NKABL opener off with another stellar start, earning the CG Win (5 innings, Final: 11-1) with 8 K's and retiring the side in order in each of the first 3 innings.  

Each Meridian with a hit, RBI, run or multiple - key contributors being Mears with a laser 3B off the fence, RBI - Woltermann: 3B, 2H, RBI, R - Parkhurst: 2H, 2R - Muench: 2R, RBI

While at 2nd in the last inning, Mears flips to Reese for a double play, Woltermann turns another pair on his own earlier in the day.   2013 Meridians debuts of Drew Clim and Ross Rutherford on Sunday then.

CRC play brings the Chill and a much better ballgame with the Meridians' only lead in the deciding 7th.   The wood bats remain fairly silent for the majority of this one as we face an 0-4 deficit for the bulk of the game.  

Biscotti knocks in 3, going 2-4, 2B, R.   Reardon (2-3) knots it up in the 6th with a RBI, Woltermann (3-4, 3 RBI) rips a 3B plating Soto (2 BBs, 2R) & Clim (1-3, BB, R) for the go-ahead runs in the 7th.   

Mears goes the distance (several K's) for the Win, helping himself with a 2B and the game-tying Run scored.   Final: 8-4
