For starters is it just me or were those kids from Federal Way HUGE. Anyway Magnolia played tough, scrappy baseball battling huge boys, bad umpires, cold weather, fatigue (first double header) and full bladders but came up short once again on the scoreboard. Having to play game two of the double header immediately after the first game left many players needing bathroom relief during this game. Line-ups were juggled as players were released to “go” on an "as needed basis" to the restrooms which were quite a journey. Although MBC again lost, Coach Cougan took it as a moral victory that no MBC player faced the ultimate embarrassment.
On his favorite mound again Tino threw well for 3 innings. Control issues followed him from game one, but he seemed sharper and more in control in this game. Tino held these giants from Federal Way to four runs (three earned) and struck out three for his days work.
Spencer Hogger followed Tino with a strong fourth inning but ran into trouble in the fifth. Nick Reeves came in to put the fire out but the damage was done.
Magnolia had their best offensive showing against these giants. Tino led off with a scorching single which was followed by a single from Nick and a walk to Campy. Mr. Clutch (and winner of most of our off season hitting contests) Ben Thomson then followed with a sharp double to score two. When Mitch Smith flew out to left Campy sneakily scored the third run as the Titans threw to second and the second baseman argued the call.
Tino lead off the third inning with a single and scored on Andrew’s RBI single. Campy, who had walked earlier, moved to third on Andrew’s single and scored on a past ball. This third inning run explosion gave this young MBC squad their first lead of the season.
