BANTAM BLUE IS ON FIRE
On Friday, June 3rd, the Zehr Insurance WOBA Bantam Blue boy’s baseball team made the long trek to Hanover for its fourth game of the season. They left with another win under their belt…a 13 to 1 mercy after the 5th.

Jake MONDEN was the starting pitcher for the night. He was on fire, striking out five batters. Jake WALKER took over in the 5th as the closer where he allowed only one hit before the game was over.

The bats were also on fire as Ryan HARMER, MONDEN and Curt EIDT all got a three-bagger (triple). MONDEN, EIDT and Eric GETTLER each added a two-bagger as well (that’s right…a double). Runs were scored by Ryan HARMER, MONDEN, GETTLER, Drew MACLEAN, EIDT, Brayden CRONIN-HORAN, Nathan HOOD and Tristan BEEHLER.

EIDT decided to make things a little interesting in the 3rd inning, so in true EIDT form he managed to get himself into not one but two pickles…one right after the other! The first was between 2nd and 3rd and then again between 3rd and home. Fortunately, he was safe both times and eventually scored the run.

Reid RAMSEYER was itching to run, so by the time the 4th inning rolled around there was no tying him down. He stole 2nd and then 3rd base before the pitcher even thought about throwing the ball.

The June 5th game against the other Mitchell Bantam team was rained out and will be rescheduled for a later date. Next game is Saturday, June 11th at 9am in St. Mary’s.
