The War Eagles recorded their first win tonight against Siloam Springs 14-3. We hit the ball well against a SLOW throwing lefty. Reed Brown pitched and struck out 8 Siloam batters.
He was a little shaky the first inning and loaded the bases with 2 walks and an error. We kept them from scoring and we batted well in the bottom of the inning. Grant reached first on a dropped third strike. You never have a chance to throw him out if you drop it! Spanky advanced Grant to third with a single. Reed followed with a single and both Grant and Spanky scored.
Casey and Huntor walked in the 2nd. Grant reached on a error to load the bases and Spanky had 2 RBI single up the middle. Payton had a deep double to score Spanky and Grant.
Matt led off the third with the first War Eagle triple. Siloam's wheels fell off and we sent 13 men to the plate, with 8 of them scoring.
Siloam scored 3 in the top of the 4th on 3 hits.
We played well and only had 1 error. Congratulations on the first win - hopefully the first of many wins this season!

Game 1 - Alma 6 War Eagles 5
The War Eagles opened their inaugural season against Alma today. We got off to a shaky start and gave up 4 runs in the first inning. We settled down in the field but it took us a while to get the bats going.
Spanky got the first ever War Eagle hit in the 4th inning. Tyler ran for him but was left stranded.
We batted around in the 5th inning and scored 4 runs to tie it up. Matt reached on an error then Casey got a hit to right center to move him to 3rd. Collin had the first War Eage RBI - a sac fly to center to score Matt. Huntor walked then Travis hit a single to load the bases. Reed hit the first pitch to right center, scoring Casey and Huntor. Spanky hit a double to score Travis and tie up the game.
Alma scored 2 in the top of the 6th on 3 hits and an error - Aaron Cluck got ahold of a fast ball to deep right center for a triple. Travis walked to lead off the 7th, stole 2nd then Payton hit him home with a single. Tyler ran for Payton and was left stranded at 2nd to end the game.
Travis pitched the first 5 innings and Payton the last 2.
Varsity/JV plays Siloam Springs Thursday afternoon at Northwest Park.
The JV team played Alma after the varsity game. War Eagles 7 - Alma 0. We could have scored more in the 1st inning but there was a 3 outs or 3 runs per inning rule.
The Sophomore team went to Bentonville tonight and got beat in their first 2 games. The second game was alot closer than the first. They will get alot of experience this year!

Garage Sale and Chicken Sale
On Saturday, February 14, 2009 the War Eagle baseball team will be hosting a garage sale in the north building of the Blackie Bond Fieldhouse on 5th St. This will run from 7 am to 1 pm or so.
The doors will open for bringing garage sale stuff and beginning set up about 3 pm on Friday afternoon. The setting up will continue until around 7 to 7:30 pm. If you have stuff and can't make it by that time, please let someone know so we can stay a little later if necessary.
All players should plan on being at the fieldhouse between 6:15 and 7 am.
The same day will also feature a Mr. Whitey Chicken Cook for the baseball team. Players and parents who are working the Chicken Cook will need to be there around 8:30 to 9 am. I think Coach has the players divided up.
