Big Win Over Rips

MBC came back twice to beat the Rips Brewers in extra innings.  Quinn Burcham pitched a gutty five innings and yielded to Andrew Helean who went the rest of the way.

The Brewers scored twice in the second to go ahead.  A single, a walk and a sac bunt put runners on second and third.  A Rips single and infield out put two on the board for them.

MBC answered in the third. Nick Safka started things out with a sharp single and promply stole second.  The damage did not really start until two outs.  Tino Peleti singled home a run and he was followed by a single by Stuart Fairchild.  Nick Reeves then singled and Tino scored and Stuart also scored as the Brewers decided to throw the ball around, in errant fashion.  3-2 MBC

MBC played add on in the fourth.  David Becker hit a moon shot to the wall in left, moved to third on an infield single by Dylan Vchulek and scored on Nick Salle's clutch two out single.

Not content with holding a lead MBC decided to play their worst defense in their half of the fourth which combined with some timely Brewer hits put MBC down 7-4.  A big double by the Rips catcher in the sixth made it a 8-4 deficit and things looked grim for MBC.

But Nick Salle got us going with a lead off single.  Tino then launched a bomb to left center that went off the glove of the center fielder (who had traveled very far to get even that close). Nick Reeves singled to load the bases and a rattled pitcher walked Quinn Burcham and Tai Huff!

Down just two runs now the hot hitting David Becker came up and lined a two run single to right center to tie the game.  Keenan Heller hit a ball too hard to short, and while the MBC team was convinced that he beat the double play toss to score the go ahead run, the man in blue said no dice and the game went extra innings.

MBC went ahead with a bases loaded walk to Tino in the eighth and added an insurance run with a sac fly by Stuart.  Andrew Helean then slammed the door on the Brewers to take home the 10-8 win.
