Game Summary
 The Bowie Volunteers came to Martin to face the Mighty Warriors. Tony Rizzotti took the mound and set the Vols down in the top of the first 1 – 2 – 3. The Warrior half of the inning started out with a bang when Eric Jeske went yard over the 360 mark. Ryan Walker followed with a single and Cameron Shultz took a walk. With two outs and two on Tyler Wilhelm hit a deep ball to right field to score both Walker and Shultz before the inning ended. Rizzotti shut the Vols down in order again in the second inning with a fly ball to Jeske in center and two strike outs. Alec Shurack got hit by a pitch to start out the second for the Warriors. Jeske got on due to a throwing error and later there was a series of singles from Travis Yost, Shultz and Kyle Chatham. Wilhelm came up with two outs and two on once again but this time he racked up three RBIs with his long ball over the left field fence. The Vols brought in a new pitcher to wrap up the inning and at the end of two full innings of play the score was 9 – 0 Warriors. The Vols once again went down in order, this time with three strike outs. The Warriors could not add to their lead in the third despite a single from Walker. In the fourth inning Bowie’s lead off batter got their first hit of the game but he was thrown out trying to steal when Trey Kensing behind the plate hooked up with Shurack at second. The Warriors once again could not score during the fourth although Chatham had his second single of the game and Wilhelm had his second double and third hit of the game. In the fifth the first Volunteer popped up to Shurack followed by a hit batsman. Rizzotti caught the runner unaware though and was able to pick him off at first with the help of first baseman, Wilhelm. The bottom of the fifth saw a double from Matt Kazmierski and a walk dealt to Walker but once again the Warriors could not score to wrap up the game. Rizzotti was still going strong in the top of the sixth when he struck out the first batter and got the second batter to pop up to Wilhelm at first and the next batter to pop up to Walker at short. The bottom of the sixth started with Chatham and Chris Micheal both getting on with help from Bowie errors. Trevor Slocum hit a 2 RBI double to left center to drive in both Chatham and Micheal to end the game with a run rule score of 11 – 0 with the Warriors having used only 1 out in the bottom of the sixth inning.
