Quiet Bats Dim Play Off Hopes

The MBC 14's had a bunch of air taken out of their balloon on Friday night. In a stretch where all games are big, MBC came up short again offensively. The Seattle Bomber's Navy beat them 11-4 to put a giant damper on any play off hopes.

John Peterson started for MBC and it just did not have his good stuff. He battled gallantly for two innings but the strike zone was his enemy and timely hits by pesky Bomber hitters was his down fall.

Nick Reeves relieved and finished throwing four innings. Nick too battled gallantly but was victimized by by seeing eye hits and a minor defensive let down.

MBC's offense sputtered all night trying to get into gear. It wasn't the number of hits but the timing of hits that hurt this team. MBC rattled off 10 hits including a massive triple by Tino Peleti, but they could not get the hits when needed to score enough runs to topple the Bombers.

Facing a run shorted game in the fifth MBC did rally enough to make the Bombers nervous. After a Nick Reeves hit and a walk to John Peterson the Bombers recorded two outs. Always reliable Stuart Fairchild doubled them home. Spencer Hogger scored Stuart with a single and then scored MBC's final run on Tino Peleti's second hit of the game.
