WALKS DOOM LANIER IN LOSS TO TURNER
COACH WHITES PLAN TO LOOK AT A COUPLE OF YOUNG PITCHERS TUNRED INTO A NIGHTMARE AS THE DAWGS WALKED 10 BATTERS AND MADE SOME KEY ERRORS LATE TO ALLOW THE REBELS TO WALK AWAY WITH THEIR FIRST VICTORY. LANIER THREW 6 DIFFERENT PITCHERS WITH MIXED RESULTS. THEY ALLOWED ONLY 5 HITS ,BUT WALKED 10. A CLOSE GAME BROKE OPEN LATE WITH SEVERAL DEFENSIVE LAPSES. TURNER LED 7-4 IN THE 4TH AND EVENTAULLY WON 12-6. WE DID SOME GOOD THINGS AND WE MADE SOME SILLY MISTAKES. THESE ARE WHAT THESE GAMES ARE FOR TO SEE WHAT WE NEED TO WORK ON.
SOPHOMORE DEREK WAS 1-1 WITH 1 WALK, 1 SAC,AND 2RBIS. SOPH. BJ LUCKY ADDED A RBI DOUBLE, SOPHOMORE DEREK EUBANKS ADDED 1 HIT AS DID SOPHOMORE WILL BRANCH. OFFENSIVELY, OUR 4 BEST HITTERS NEED TO PICK THE PACE UP A LITTLE . IF THEY DO WE WILL BE ALRIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
OUR EMPHASIS RIGHT NOW IS TO PITCH BETTER AND NOT MAKE SILLY MISTAKES. STARTING 5 SOPHOMORES AMD 1 FRESHMAN IS GOING TO MAKE IT TOUGH AS WE TRY TO DEVELOP MORE OF A TEAM CONCEPT.
IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE DAY , CHARLTON LOOKED VERY GOOD WINNING 9-1 OVER TURNER CO. TURNER SEEM TO PLAY MUCH MORE RELAXED THAN THEY DID IN THE FIRST GAME.
