The Warriors closed out their participation in the Holiday Park Baseball Club Memorial Tournament with a 4-3 victory over the Des Moines Wild on Sunday.
In their third game of the tournament -- their first against a fellow AA team -- the Warriors overcame five errors as Zach Zingula went the distance on the mound, allowing only one earned run in six innings. Fighting a cold, Zingula wasn't overpowering, instead relying on his defense for 15 of 17 outs. The Wild's 18th out came in a textbook pitcher-to-first-to-second-to-first-to-shortstop-to-pitcher rundown.
Michael Daughtery began to get comfortable with his new bat, going 2-3 with two runs scored.
The Warriors began the day with their first test against a "major" team. They more than held their own for six innings against Those Guys, but four seventh-inning errors lead to five unearned runs and the Warriors fell 10-2.
Robert Hogg pitched six strong innings, but took the loss. Jordy Brown scored both Warrior runs and went 2-2 with a two stolen bases.
The Warriors stand at 12-11 on the year with the Cedar Hills Hawks coming to McKinley Field Wednesday at 6 p.m.
