Game 3 v. Ravenscroft

The Warriors were handed our first loss last night in a tough game against Ravenscroft. We faced some solid pitching and while we were able to put the ball into play well, we had a hard time coming up with the hits when we needed them, stranding four runners in scoring position. Ravenscroft was not overpowering but were able to string together a few hits and were helped by a few Warrior errors. We were missing some key players, but overall the players stepped up and gave a good showing against our first real tough competition. Of particular note was a solid game at second base by Brian, and a 2 for 3 outing at the plate by Mark. A bouncer off the wall in center by Bill and a ground rule double in left center by Caleb were also impressive. This was a good game for us and the first of an upcoming string of games against strong teams. We’re finished getting our feet wet and now it’s time to plunge in game by game as we move towards the East Regionals at the end of April.
