War Eagles 6 Greenwood 4

The War Eagles got a quality win tonight against a Greenwood team that hadn't allowed a run against them this season. Travis was pitching and he and Matt turned the first War Eagle double play to end the 1st. We scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st after Travis reached on an error and Stewie and Spanky both singled. Payton hit into a double play but Trav scored. Reed lined a double to left center to score Stewie. Trav got out of a couple of jams in the 2nd and 3rd. Matt made 2 nice snags at 2nd to end both innings.
We scored 2 more runs in the 5th inning. Casey got a hit down the 3rd base line then Trav singled. With runners at the corners Trav stole 2nd. The Greenwood catcher made a bad throw and Casey scored and Trav moved to 3rd. Their pitcher balked to allow Trav to go home. A cheap run but we will take them any way we can get them.
Greenwood tied it up in the 6th inning. Trav was getting tired and they started hitting the ball well and we had one error to help them out. Payton came in and pitched the rest of the way.
We scored 2 runs on no hits in the bottom of the 6th to win the game. Brandon took a pitch off his helmet for an game winning RBI hit-by-pitch. He went down for a few seconds and his helmet went the opposite way about 10 feet. Not pretty but it looked good on the scoreboard!
