Per Twitter: Big S/O to @Mitchell_Jone5 who made a spectacular diving catch in LF for the second out in the top of he 7th inning. Great team win.

That catch was SC top ten worthy and it kept the birds from completely melting down an eight run lead in the seventh.

Strike zone changed substantially in the 7th. Pitches that had been called strikes the entire game were not being called strikes in the bottom of the 7th inning. HHS reliever was definitely getting squeezed at the end.

 

Nice to see Ricky Raisor come in and slam the door. Highlands' pitching depth is evident once again.

 

DJ Mills hit a home run for the Birds.

 

#24 did a nice job in relief for the Eagles.

The catch my Mitchell Jones was great. And yes it did keep the Eagles from tying the game and or possibly winning.

Questions for those in attendance.

 

1. How many innings did Bunning pitch?

2. Who was the reliever that was getting squeezed?

3. Why was Mitchell Jones in left? Thought that is where Murray played.

4. See that Kreeger is hitting the ball very well, where does he play?

5. Have not heard much about Venemann, is he playing?
