On a cold night (45 degrees) in Van Buren the War Eagles recorded their 2nd win to move to 2-1 on the season. Travis started the game with a walk, luckily made it to second on a bad throw by their first baseman, stole 3rd and scored on Payton's single up the middle. Travis was also pitching. He ended the night with 9 strikeouts and only 1 walk and a hit batter. He gave up 2 hits in 5 innings - one of them was a solo home run. Good job, Trav. Payton's bat was hot tonight - he had 2 of our 4 hits, both RBI singles. We scored our other runs in the 6th. Spanky started off with a double. Cody ran for him and scored on Payton's second single. It was a close play at the plate but Cody got there and their catcher dropped the ball. Crief ran for Payton and scored on Reed's groundout to third. Payton came in to pitch in the 6th inning and got the first War Eagle save!
KHEL Radio covered the game. They had trouble with the cell service and they weren't pleased with the results. It should be better next time!
We play Wednesday at 4 at Northwest Park against Northside in the Best Sports/McD tournament.
