U10 Black Team Beats Haslett, 10-9

Our U10 Black Junior Rams team made it four wins in a row, with a 10-9 victory over the Haslett Vikings on May 17. With two players absent, our boys played the entire game with only three outfielders, and survived a frenzied Haslett rally in the final inning.

Big Eli swing the big stick, with three hits and three RBI, while Ethan added three hits and two runs scored. Marcell had two hits, including a double, with two runs scored. Nicholas had a clutch double to score two insurance runs that turned out to be the game-winners.

Our pitchers held the Vikings to five runs through four innings before the home team rallied in the bottom of the fifth. Josh threw two innings, with Jack providing middle relief, and David-Michael held the mound for the final two at-bats. Josh and David-Michael each had three strikeouts.

The win leaves our Junior Rams atop the U10 "C" division with a 4-0 record, and half of the road schedule already completed. Our boys will host the Lansing Tigers on May 18 at Elliott Field.
