Tight match up against the boys from Lakeville North

Plenty of opportunies with numerous times we left runners on base and couldn't get them home. All in all we had 10 hits, 7 walks, a hitter batter, and 5 runs. Chase was the starting pitcher pitching thru the 5th inning allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, 1 walk, with 8 strikeouts. Unfortunately Lakeville got a few of those timely hits and walks in the 5th inning to tie the game 3-3. Eric Gray came on to pitch the 7th inning allowing only 1 hit and then some good defense getting the first batter to ground out, the 2nd batter got a hit but was picked off on an attempted stolen base, and the final out was a pop fly. Sending us into extra innings.... The Python's came out on a mission in the top of the 8th with a single hit by Tj, a double by Logan Kent, and Danny Depauw got a single to tally 2 more runs for us.

Well the boys from Bloomington came to town in hopes of shutting the Python's down.... they came closer than any other team, but in the end our bats proved to be more than they could handle.
Nate Buckley started the game - he pitched a couple of good innings until the heat got the best of him. He left after going 2 - 2/3 innings. He did get a lot of support on the home side of the innings. Score was Python's 8 - Bloomington 5 after 3 innings. Eric Gray's seeing the ball VERY WELL hitting yet another homerun - a 3 run shot in the 2nd inning.
Alex Emery came on in relief during the 3rd inning pitched into the 6th allowing a few hits, and 2 runs. Our bats were still hot and we tacked on 4 more runs in the 6th inning.
When we brought in Chase to close out the 6th and pitch the 7th innings. He allowed two runs but was able to close it out.
