The Warrior bats came alive Monday night in the first league game of the season against the Cedar Hills Hawks. Seven players accounted for a season-high 10 hits as the Warriors cruised to a 10-3 victory to even their record at 4-4.
Left fielder Robert Hogg led the way with three runs on two walks, a hit and five stolen bases. Hogg stole home in the bottom of the fifth inning for the Warriors' final run. Hogg was also flawless in the field with two put outs and an assist on a fourth-inning double play that included third baseman Max Versteegh and second baseman Mitch Blades.
Five different pitchers, backed by nearly flawless defense, combined to allow the Hawks one run each in the first, second and fifth innings.
After a busy stretch of five games in three days, the Warriors can rest their arms until 6 p.m. Thursday, May 1, when they're scheduled to play Cougars White at McKinley. That begins a stretch of five consecutive game days, including two double headers.
Practice is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at McKinley.
Below are the game reports from Monday night as well as updated overall statistics.
After eight games, Hogg leads the team with a .455 batting average. Blades, Versteegh and Jordy Brown are all also batting above .300. Michael Daughtery, Dalton Weems and Will Teubel, each of whom pitched an inning Monday, have yet to allow an earned run. Hogg is 2-0 with a 1.04 ERA in three appearances totaling 8.2 innings. Defensively, catcher Patrick Karamitros leads the way with a .974 fielding percentage. First baseman Ryan Niemeyer has also been nearly flawless.
