MBC Hitters Continue to Roll

MBC beat the Born to Play team 15-4 on Sunday morning in Sumner. As on Friday night MBC came out hot and scored an amazing 11 runs in the first inning putting the game out of reach early.

Russell Madche was the recipient of the wonderful support and proceeded to cruise his way through four innings on the mound. Riley Duffy finished them off with a nice fifth inning and the boys were free for the day.

Mitchell Smith started the game off innocently enough with a routine ground ball to short. As a sign of a team in some distress, their shortstop booted the play, and it was all down hill for them after that. Alex Mitchell laced a single to right, and then the hit parade started. Stuart Fairchild, Quin Burcham, Nick Reeves and Adam Hinthorne followed with singles, Russell walked and Riley Duffy, Nick Salle, Mitchell Smith, Alex Mithchell, Stuart and Quinn followed with hits, Stuart's being a booming double.

When the dust had settled MBC had recorded eleven hits, Alex, Stuart and Quinn had each had a two hit inning and MBC had the win in their back pocket. Quinn and Stuart finished the day with three hits each, and the Mitchell twins, Alex and Smitty each had two hits.

That aside, the highlight of the day was the use of MBC's secret weapon against roster erosion, thirteen year old Cole Burcham. Cole played three error less innings at first and scorched a single in his only at bat. His success made coach Cougan wish that Robbie "Smeagle" Salle had suited up for the game.
