Walther's IDA Tier 2 drops first Game of WOBA Championship.
The Walther's IDA tier 2 team finished the regular season with and 8-8 record which was good enough to get them into the Championship side of the tier 2 WOBA tournament. They would enter as the 7 seed and face a strong 2 seed from Walkerton. After a scoreless first, the Capitals from Walkerton scored the next 12 runs and would cruise to a 23-13 victory.
The big hitters for the hometown Astros in this game were Brandon Dietrich and Ben Medhurst who each recorded 3 hits, each hammering out 2 doubles. Not to be outdone, hard hitting Jordan Visneskie had 3 hits of his own, one being a double. Payton Wood and Joel Meinen also brought their hot bats recording 3 singles each. Meinen also had a very good game in the field making several key outs, including catching a line drive at first.
This loss would knock the Astros to the loser bracket where they will face the Goderich Black team.
