Meridians Baseball

The merged Meridians meet up Saturday afternoon for a tournament tune-up for the Cincinnati Cobalts.   Getting the call a few hours before game time that Sunday's NKABL game is off, this turns out to be our only weekend action.   We get a few call-offs, one attempted, but some 11th hour additions (thanks to Bolia and Shayeson for running out last minute to give us a true infield) provide a full squad for the afternoon match-up.

Mears starts off right away with his world-leading 14th triple of the season to straight-away center, scoring on Herby's ball to the right side.   Kraus later booms a double to right to score two more while Parkhurst adds 2 RBI himself, but it's a barnburner as we only score one touchdown to their two.   Mears hogs the ball on the bump with 8 K's in his 7 innings, getting stonger as he went longer.

Thanks to Dietz & the Cobalts for the game, covering umpires and game balls & Spriggs for providing UC-Clermont recruit, Humpert behind the dish all afternoon.
