The Season Ends

Regionals

The Warriors season came to an end today with a 5-1 loss to Montini. Ryan Kramer got the start for the Warriors and pitched well expect for two pitches. Those two pitches combined for three runs for Montini and the Broncos did not look back from there. Matt Brandys had the only RBI for the Warriors with a RBI single in the bottom of the second. JD Joiner was the only Warriors with multiple hits, he went 2-3 with two singles.

Bottom of the Fourth: 1-3

Joiner ropes a single but Warriors cannot bring him home. I am joined by a Wheaton Academy student who vents about the annoying sound affects during the game. The affects are annoying, but complaining during a hard game just makes things worse.

Top of the Fifth: 1-3

Swaney gets two groundballs and a strikeout to start off the inning. After a long at bat the umpire’s ran out of baseballs because there were so many foul shots.
