Warriors Defeat IC 14-5

Warriors Destroy IC 14-5

As similar to previous games the Warriors got off to a slow start falling behind early to the Knights. The Knights scored 3 runs in the first two innings and were up for most of the game till the sixith inning when the Warriors scored 9 runs. The big play of the inning was when Alec McNally stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. He launches a double off the wall to bring all the runners home.

Throughout the game the Warriors got multiple opportunities to score more runs off of errors. Two notable times were when Drew Sandberg and Alec McNally reached 3rd on bunt attempts, keeping the inning alive allowing multiple runs to score. Upon the poor fielding, Greg Bradford proclaimed, “every blind pig finds an acorn sometimes!” Wait, why would a pig eat acorns? If a pig is blind, wouldn’t the farmer just use the pig as food? How could a pigs digestive system take eating an acorn? So many questions. I am not making these quotes up people. After we thought about what he might have been trying to say, we concluded that he meant “every blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.” The great supportive friends that the bench is, didn’t let Bradford forget his blunder.

The Warriors had some solid pitching from starter Derek Enger and relief pitcher Johnny Schmitz. When asked about the performance, Schmitty responded “I just want to get out of the shadow of my brother Dan, I hear the stories about how former coach Willy Bosque hit a homer off him everyday. I am my own man.” Or something like that…
