The Niagara Snappers opened their 2009 season with a disappointing 2-2 record at the Millgrove Early Bird tournament over the weekend. It was a story of 2 extremes, as Niagara mercied their opponents in both their wins with identical 7-0 scores. On the other end of the scale, Niagara was shut out in both its losses by scores of 10-0 and 2-0.
On the mound, pick-up pitcher Bill Hillhouse of Erie, PA threw 11 innings and struck out an impressive 20 batters to compile a 1.85 ERA for the weekend. Matt Lyon also pitched a gem of a game, throwing 6 innings of 2 hit ball to pick up the Snappers final win of the tournament. At the plate, Niagara was led by Trevor Falk who hit .500 for the weekend with 6 RBI’s, Perry Bartley with a .571 average and 3 RBI’s, and Matt Lyon who hit .333 with 2 RBI’s.
