Issaquah Thunders by Magnolia

Magnolia gave up ELEVEN early runs against the thunder on Friday night tried to rally back, but fell short loosing 11-8. The game had been delayed from 5:00 to 5:30 to allow Issaquah time to get the field on a Friday night; we should have delayed the game to 6:00 because that is when the home team finally showed up.

Scoring eight runs is typically enough to win, but tonight the team fell short.

Jimmy Sheldrup started the game and the defense let him down early and then the Thunder caught fire. The hitting light was on and it took a while for MBC to turn that light off. Chris Luttinen came on and fought against the hitting light and finally got it turned off in the second inning and blanked them the rest of the way.

The bats tried hard. Tino hit a three run homer (2-4 4 RBI), AK was 2-2 but left the game with a shoulder injury and Cambell Queen, Stuart Fairchild and Peter Rakita (double) all had hits.
