Sam
Plummer, #11, got things going in the top of the first for Jordan Small with a
base hit. A couple walks loaded the bases, but it ended there.
Tripp
jumeds to an early 5-0 lead.
Jump to
the bottom of the second, where quick feet by catcher Gracien Golebrewski, #10,
nabbed a runner as they were headed toward home plate.
In the
bottom of the fourth inning, third basemen DJ Vella, #6, made a nice out at
third base to prevent Tripp from getting a runner closer to home plate. Jordan
Small put in a good effort every inning and that effort was reflected in throws
to first which beat the runner, caught pop flies and prevented any Tripp runners
from stealing a base.
Fast
forward to the top of the fifth, after Jordan Small loaded the bases, Bob Wing,
#15, got a base hit and brought in, #1, Lucas Oldershaw, 11-1, Tripp.

Jordan
Small began to pick up steam in the top of the sixth inning. After Jacob
Goslant, #9, walked, Noah Mains, #16, got a base hit. Chase Wescott, #3, walked
and Jordan Small had loaded the bases. Another walk brought in Goslant, 11-2.
Chase stole home early on in the inning. Several more batters walked, and
Jordan Small’s score began to climb, 11-6.
The
umpire called the game after six and a half innings.
Final:
11-6, Tripp.
“Combined
practices and games this year makes our fourth time on a baseball field - every
time we come out to the field feels like a brand-new experience,” observed
Coach, Jim Beers. “We can’t get into any rhythm or anything consistent. We just
need more repetition, more games and they can play to their potential.”
