Team Summaries | Wolverines Notes: The Wolverines squeak out the win against a tough Badgers team in a game that saw 4 lead changes. The game saw SC Top 10 plays from both teams with flat out hustle on defense. Jake H. goes horizontal to snag a sure double in the gap in center in the top of the first to save a couple of runs. This is equaled by a Badger center fielder who returns the favor when Jake is at bat in the bottom of the 3rd. Jake later does it again when he lays out to catch a foul ball while playing catcher. The Badgers threatened late with 1 run in the top of the 6th and a RBI triple in the 7th to close within 1, putting the tying run 70 feet away. A fly ball that surely would have scored the tying run in the 7th barely drops foul. A bunt that would have scored the tying run comes in contact with the batter while he is in the box and is also foul. Then Eliot S. coaxes a come-backer and jukes the runner on third with a fake throw to first, and the Wolverines get the runner out at home. The game ends with a curveball called strike 3. The Wolverines offense is evenly spread across 8 players tallying 9 hits. Wolverines pitch counts: Luca - 70 Dias - 54 Eliot - 8 Badgers pitch counts: Ryan - 60 Gianluca - 14 Cole - 16 Badgers Notes: |
