LANIER 7TH SPLITS WITH BERRIEN
THE LANIER 7TH GRADERS GOT A CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSLEVES AS A GROUP AND THE RESULTS WERE PRETTY GOOD IN HANDING BERRIEN THEIR 1ST LOSS OF THE SEASON. THE DAWGS LOST THE 1ST GAME 5-4 AS LANIER PITCHERS WALKED 6 AND ALLOWED 5 HITS AND MADE SEVERAL BASERUNNING BLUNDERS.
RYAN WHITE WAS THE LEADING HITTER GOING 3-4 AND SCORING TWICE. ETHAN MCRAE DELIVERED THE BIGGEST SHOT OF THE DAY WITH A 3 RUN HOMER WHICH CLEARED THE 295 FENCE . (NOT BAD FOR A 13 YEAR OLD) JORDAN PATTEN AND NATHAN BASS ALSO ADDED SINGLES.
IN GAME #2,LANIER WON 3-0. IT WAS THE RYAN WHITE SHOW AS HE WENT THE DISTANCE ALLOWING JUST 2 SINGLES AND FANNING 9. NEITHER REBEL IT PAST 2ND BASE. HE WAS ALSO 2-2 WITH 4 STOLEN BASES INCLUDING STEALING HOME IN THE 5TH INNING. ETHAN MCRAE ADDED A RBI DOUBLE,CAIN ROBERTS 1 RBI DOUBLE, AND CODY FRICKE -SINGLE. JORDAN PATTEN WAS FLAWLESS IN THE FIELD RECORDING 7 PUTOUTS AT 2ND BASE.
WE WERE REALLY PROUD OF HOW OUR 5 6TH GRADERS RESPONDED IN WHAT WAS FOR MOST THIER 1ST TIME OFF A LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD. CASS REGISTER ESPECIALLY SHOWED ALOT OF POISE STARTING BOTH GAMES.
