Clean Sweep

Yesterday was a huge turnaround for the baseball team. It was like a completely different team then Saturday. Wittenburg was a good team and we definitely needed both wins to even out our record in Florida. We played two seven inning games that seemed to go on forever. It was definitely a long day, but very enjoyable.

Our first game we jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. They made it somewhat close towards the end of the game but they were never able to take the lead. We had some key hits that definitely propelled us to a victory. The final score was 6-4.

The second game was alot longer than the first. We jumped out to an early lead again but made some errors midway through the game that really cost us. Wittenburg took advantage of this and scored several unearned runs. They took a huge lead in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run home run. By the end of the inning they were up by five with a score of 9-4. In the top of the sixth, we strung together six consecutive hits, which added up to a huge inning. We finished the inning scoring seven runs and putting us up by two, 11-9. We showed great determination by not folding and giving up. We held them in the bottom of the sixth and failed to do anything in the top if the seventh. They scored one run in the bottom of the seventh and that was it. We held them for our second victory of the day, winning 11-10.
