Early Morning Loss to Brewers Blue

It is becoming apparent that the MBC 13’s are not a morning bunch. Playing in the 8:00 AM game MBC fell behind early and waged a gallant comeback to lose 10-7.

It looked good at the beginning. The game started with hits by Ben Thomson (2-4) and Nick Reeves (3-4) but they were quickly stranded as the rest of the team slept in. When the team woke up they found themselves down 8-0 after two innings.

Then the fun started. Sam Deane led off the third with a double (not an easy thing to do) and was moved to third by Spencer Hogger (2-3). Sam was driven home by Ben Thomson who later scored on Nick Reeves’ booming double.

In the fifth, Spencer Hogger led off with a hit and scored after Ben and Nick again notched back to back hits.

Still down five runs the boys started to make the Brewers sweat some in the sixth. Campy Queen single and scored along with Jimmy Sheldrup after two infield miscues by the Brewers defense. The big blow of the inning was Chris Luttinen’s single to bring the team within three runs.

MBC miscues led to two more Brewer runs in the sixth but the boys poised themselves for a comeback again down five.

Spencer Hogger led off the seventh with a hit, but the Brewers finally figured out a way to get Ben and Nick out. With two outs Tino Peleti hit a two run homer to put a big scare into the Brewers, but it was all over after Stuart Fairchild flew out to right.
