Martin vs Lamar

Game Summary
The Warriors hosted Lamar at Warrior Field for the first face off with the Vikings. Mike Hill started on the mound with Lamar scoring two on four hits in the 1st inning. In the 2nd inning the lead off batter hit a shot back to Hill hitting him in the leg and then bouncing to Witte who threw to Chovanec at first for the out. Hill didn’t allow another hit after the 1st inning and struck out four. He was relieved in the 5th by Stewart Person after putting three on base. Person pitched to two more batters in the 5th, walking one and striking out the next. He pitched the 6th inning with three up and three down. Jordan Imhoff pitched the final inning also retiring the Lamar hitters 1-2-3 with one strikeout.

Jake Mizell led off the 1st inning with a solo home run after fouling off 4 or 5 with one off his foot. (Mizell had to have that foot x-rayed the next day, but was blessed with a negative result – just badly bruised.) Jantzen Witte, Imhoff and Daniel Garcia each got base hits and the Warriors answered the two runs Lamar got with three of their own. In the 2nd inning, Jay Hiller led off with a single to center field but was picked off leading off at first. In the 3rd inning Mike Chovanec got a base hit to right center and Witte followed with a walk. Chovanec stole third and then reached home on a wild pitch. Witte reached home on a pass ball. Chase Brown also reached base on balls and stole second and third and then stole home too! Garcia, Brian Ragira and Hiller all walked as well. Shane Griffin went in to run for Garcia and was thrown out by the catcher at second. Tyler Osier hit a fielder’s choice to third and Ragira was out on the force. Mizell led off the 4th inning with a long fly ball to center field that was easily caught. Chovanec followed with a walk and moved to second on a wild pitch. Witte came to the plate next and hit his 6th home run of the season scoring two. Imhoff hit a long fly ball to center for the second out. Brown hit a double and was thrown out attempting to steal third. Garcia led off the 5th inning with a single and moved to second on a balk. Ragira was up next with a two run homer.
