War Eagles take 2 from Springdale

Game 1 of conference DH - a 5-4 WIN!
The War Eagles won their first 7A conference game, beating the Springdale Bulldogs 5-4. Travis was the starting pitcher and got the win. Reed followed him in the 5th and picked up a save. We didn't play our best baseball but an ugly win is a WIN. We had 3 costly errors that we haven't been having. It got dicy in the top of the 7th. We were up 5-2. Springdale started with a walk, got a single and then we had an error, allowing them to score a run. Reed got a strikeout, they hit a RBI sac fly to make the score at 5-4 and they had a runner at third. Reed got a called strike three to end the game. Whew!!! Our first conference win! WOW!
Game 2 - 6-0 WIN!
We scored 2 runs in the 1st, 5th and 6th to beat Springdale again. Zac pitched a great game and struck out 13 Bulldogs. Payton pitched the final 2 outs. Travis' bat was hot with a single and a double plus he walked twice and scored twice. Zac also scored twice. Brandon was playing third and had a couple of really good plays. I think both Zac and Brandon are starting to get into the baseball groove after basketball. They are both valuable additions to our team.
Way to start conference play, War Eagles!
