Second Inning
In the second inning Mike Boyce is up to bat and rips this ball to left field and see you later. The two run bomb for Boyce puts the Redhakws up 2-0. Warriors turn to get on base on as Xander Siodlarz gets a piece of the Jack Skidmore pitch that goes into Center field for a base hit. However good luck trying to out run Colin Barczi as he throws down to Pambo Nicoloudes at second to tag out a sliding Siodlarz.
Third Inning
Barczi continues his assault this time as a base runner by getting this ball through the infield. Mike Umbright keeps the hits going as this rbi single scores in pinch hitter Luke Olsen and it’s a 3-0 lead for Central. Jack Skidmore also plays a key role who strikes out eight batters on the day.
Sixth Inning
Warriors test him out with the hoppers but that gives him a chance to make the play at first himself after the serve from Gabe Dickerson. Green and Gold find their bright spot with Blake Pietryk who smacks this ball into left center that results in a double. Mike Piche reward his effort with an RBI and we got ourselves a two run ball game heading into the seventh inning.
