Sophs Beat Macomb 30-8

We were able to put up runs early and often against the bombers. The Streaks built a 14-0 lead after hitting for 2 innings by getting a couple drag bunts down from Chris Anderson and Logan Davis as well as agressive baserunning from several players.
Bryce Dejaynes got the start for the Streaks and made quick work of the Bombers in the first thanks to a good throw and relay by Anderson and Davis after Anderson misplayed a ball for a double before throwing the runner out at third trying for a triple. Dejaynes ran into some trouble in the bottom of the second and had some trouble finding the strike zone. Cal Morling came in to relieve him and got out of the inning as well as throwing a third inning where he only gave up one run on a day when the wind was blowing out and a lot of runs would be scored.

We showed a lot of potential in our first games, but we've got a lot of work to do.We showed that when we get the ball on the ground and throw strikes we can be successful, but we need to do that on a more consstent basis. I'm looking forward to our first freshman game on Monday against Sherrard at 4:30.
