It was a complete 7 inning game. Muench started and went 5, only giving up 2 hits and had 4 K's, 1 unearned run on an error. Towles pitched the final 2 only giving up only 2 hits and had 4K's. Reller 2-4, Muench 2-4 1 RBI, Towles 2-4 2 RBI's, White 2 RBI's. Birds have the day off tomorrow and face a tough Milford team on Friday at Highland Park. Friday is Community Appreciation day at the ballpark.

Wow, Towles must have a rubber arm. Seems like every Highlands thread I read, he's pitched for them.

He does have a rubber arm, but he only pitched 2 1/2 on Monday and he only threw 7 innings last week, 2 against Bellevue and 5 against Ryle.

Highlands did the suicide squeeze sucessful 3 times once in the 6th and twice in the 7th

Gotta love the fundamentals of the game. Execute them, and you'll win alot of games. Kudos to the players and coaches.

I was in the DH dugout after the game and fundamentals is what was preached. If the Dixie plays had shown how to field the squeeze, Highlands would not have done it 3 times but sometimes that's the way things roll.

That's what we hear "small ball" is his game. Thanks for the encouragement.

The thing is, Coach Johnson and Coach Brown switched baselines 3 games ago. All this small ball is from Brown. And it's working!

Not surprising at all! Mikey J is very flexible and has always had faith in his staff members.
