Stringer flies out to the deepest part of the field. JUST missed hitting it out. One down.

Yet ANOTHER deep fly out as Slusher rockets one to deep center that the Birds CF catches easily.

WOW. Rowe hits ANOTHER deep shot to center that dies just before the fence. Three up, three down.

 

Highlands 5-5-0, Beechwood 1-2-2 - Top 7

What part of the batting order are those last 3 batters for Beechwood?

#34 for the Birds reaches on an error by Castleman at third.

1-2-3 I believe ... Unsure

Beautiful bunt single by Bowden...runners on 1 and 2. No outs. Not good for the Tigers.

#34 is freshman Bryce Ziegler.

Nice sacrifice bunt by #11 for the Birds. Bankemper could have attempted to get the runner at third, but chose the smart route and nailed the runner by a step at first. Runners on 2-3, one out.

Stringer relieving Bankemper ... Man's effort by Bankemper stopping the bleeding.

Kreeger walks to load the bases. Walkenhorst at the plate...

Great job by Bankemper. He has kept BW in the game and that's all one can ask of a pitcher in that position.

Birds add a run on a sacrifice fly to left field foul territory.

Runners on 1-3 with two down

Sharp single to right by #4 for Highlands drives in yet another run. Two down. Runners on 1-2. Birds 7, Tigers 1.
