Apology and Game Recap

30 minutes before game time the laptop crashed. We did in fact play the game but it wasn't pretty. Lagrange put up four runs in the first in route to a 14-2 whipping of your Petrels. Here is the recap.

First, I would not like to think about this game too much so I'm going to keep it short.

Panthers 14 Petrels 2

The Panthers plated four runs in the first inning, three in the third and four in the fourth en route to a 14-2 win. OU starter Nick Greenfield never could find the plate and fell behind in the count which led to his rough outing. Overall the Petrel pitching staff walked 10+ batters and hit three more. Sam Briend threw two solid inning of relief and Casey Kuebler became the first Petrel hurler to record outs with both arms in the same inning. He retired the first two hitters in the 7th inning throwing left-handed and then retired the last hitter throwing right-handed.

At the plate Matthew Cornwell, Cliff Cross, Stephen Archer, and Chris Lucas each had hits but the offense could not muster any rallies.

The defense was very dissapointing with 5 errors in the field, 4 by three different secondbasemen. We also did not make several plays in the field that we should have made.

Overall it was an awful night with very few bright spots. Almost the entire roster made an appearance. Besides the loss the laptop crashed, the music system stopped working, and the Toro ran out gas. Thankfully we didn't sustain any serious injuries. Time to pick ourselves up, swallow our pride and get after Maryville on Saturday. 1 down 40+ more games to go!


Notes:
