Meridians Baseball

Our attempt at defense is a fail and too little offense despite breaking on a high note with a 5-inning, 10-run ruling Sunday afternoon.   Before the easy one, we scrap through two tight ones Saturday night and Sunday morning with errors doing us in in each contest - ending in walk-offs for each of our opponents.   Bolia makes his return after a few weeks off, tallying 5 K's with his 65 pitches.   Reese wraps it ups, but gets tagged with the loss vs. the Ludlow Trojans.  Final: 3-5

Sunday morning comes too soon, but Dizzy makes his return to a rutted mound at Roselawn, this time with a more human-like 9 K's (at least) this go-around.   We try different variations of an infield behind Diz, but can't find the right mix while he guts through all 8 innings vs. the Cincinnati A's.  Final: 7-8

Mears (providing the only real highlights Saturday night: 3-3, 2 2Bs, 3B, 2 runs) stays hot in Game 2, helping himself to the easy victory (Final: 11-1) going 3-3 again with another 3B to knock in the 10th run.

Riggan (3-3, run), Lahmers (2-2, 3B, run) and Soto (2-3, run) provide most of the offense in Game 1.   Mears gets help from Meza (2 runs), Kraus (2-2, 2B, 2 runs) and Love (3 BBs, 2 runs) in Game 2.
