Martin   - vs Arlington -

Game Summary

Mike Hill is on the mound for the Warriors for the second match up with the cross-town rival Arlington High Colts. This game is a pitchers’ duel to the very end.

The Colts lead off the game with a double to the left field wall but leave the runner stranded. They get the leadoff batter on again in the 2nd inning but again aren’t able to score. The Warrior first hit comes on a single up the middle by Tyler Martin in the bottom of the 2nd but the Warriors can’t get him home. The Warriors get 2 men on in the 3rd with singles by Harrison Law and Jantzen Witte but a ground out fielder’s choice ends the inning. The Colts are able to push 1 run across in the 4th with a couple of Warrior errors following a hit batsman. The Warriors get runners on base in the 4th and 6th innings but aggressive, yet costly, base running keeps them from scoring.

Hopes are high for the Warriors in the bottom of the 7th as Brian Nephew leads off with a single. Shane Griffin comes in as a pinch runner and is moved to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by T. Martin. Unfortunately, he is caught stealing with a good play by the Colt catcher to end the game resulting in the first district loss of the season.
