Martin   - vs Arlington High -

Game Summary

The rival game with Arlington High begins with Harrison Law ripping a grounder toward 1st base, a sure hit, but the Colts 1st baseman makes a good play to rob him of a single.  Jantzen Witte follows with a great double over the right fielders head but the top of the inning ends with no score for Martin.  The bottom of the inning is a good start for Kevin Winter holding the Colts to just one hit and no runs.  AHS defense makes another good play in the second inning to rob Tyler Martin of a nice hit.  Winter begins the bottom of the inning with a strike-out, Jordan Imhoff makes a sliding catch in right field and then Winter finishes off the 1-2-3 inning with another K.  After 2 outs in the 3rd, Law, reaches on a high pop up that is mishandled by the AHS catcher and Witte then gets on base with a walk.  Will Keiser hits a 3 run homer to left center to score the Warriors first 3 runs.  Winter allows only 1 hit in the bottom of the inning and again closes out with a strike-out. The 4th inning has Michael Chovanec hitting a lead off double and T. Martin moves him to 3rd base with a nice sac bunt.  Chovanec scores on a fielder’s choice by Brian Ragira and an error by the Colt defense.  Chase Brown earns his way on base with a walk and Shane Griffin enters to pinch run.  Witte’s fielder’s choice scores Ragira and pinch runner Griffin.  Keiser hits a single to shallow right field and scores Witte who was running with 2 outs.  The Colts rally in their half with back-to-back homeruns but Winter settles in and finishes the inning with another strike-out.  The 5th inning sees both teams quiet with 3 up and 3 down.  Brown reaches on a hit by pitch to begin the 6th inning.  He is thrown out at 2nd on Law’s fielder’s choice.  Another fine play by the Colts defense keeps Keiser’s shot down the 3rd base line in play to make the out.  Griffin comes to the mound and gets a fly ball out but the Colts score 3 runs with some defensive miscues by Martin.  Mike Hill comes in to close the inning throwing 2 ground ball outs.  The Colts have their own defensive miscues in the top of the 7th inning, allowing Tyler Osier to score, who was pinch running for Imhoff after reaching on an error.  T. Martin hits a shot down the right field line for a double and moves Ragira who also reached base on an error by the Colts.  Law follows with a double to right center field and scores T.
