Tigers Efficiently Roar Past MBC

It all happened so quick that it seemed the game was over before it began. The second place Eastlake Tigers quickly and methodically scored their eight runs and sent MBC packing.

Oddly enough MBC played great defense, turning a wonderful double play in the second and having Bonecrusher Heller make a big league play from the hole. Spencer Hogger made a diving stop on a screaming line drive, but between these key defensive plays, the Tigers had managed to keep the pressure on and score the eight runs needed to win.

Offensively MBC could not do much against the Cy Young candidate the Tigers put on the mound. Chris Luttinen and Stuart Fairchild hit booming doubles but the Tigers limited the MBC boys to just two other hits, singles by Ben Thomspn and Spencer Hogger. They showed some good leather as well as the first baseman robbed Peter Rakita of a sure RBI double down the line with a nifty stab.
