Meridians Baseball

The Meridians finally make it back down to Kentucky to play after more than 2 and a half weeks due to two forfeits and rain.   The bigger news though, was another hour and a half south where Jeff Mears joined the Cincinnati Chiefs in Louisville for the NABF Regionals.   Mears tosses a CG 2-hitter with 10 K's to earn the club a 5-1 Win in their first round match-up!

Just across the river though, things were a bit more murky.  Coach had the day off with family (Godsons) in town, but he did his best to throw 11 men down to meet the Whales at Morscher Field.   Interim Coach Reese was a gametime arrival so Parkhurst took over initially.   Pitching highlights: Imperiale throwing a season-high 4 innings with 7 K's, Dolan with his season-high of 2 innings, Bommer with 2 innings (despite a throwing session 2 days prior), 2 K's and Woltermann with his mound debut and a dominating 9th inning, 2 K's.

Yes.., 9th inning.   The pitching on both sides command the night for the most part as neither team can plate a 5th run and darkness prevails wrapping up the contest in a 4-4 tie.

Parkhurst with a multi-hit night, Woltermann - 3B/RBI, Sickinger (BB, 2 Runs) & Reese both with 2Bs, Hump - H, RBI, R and first Meridians hits for Imperiale and Dolan.
