U12 White opens season with a dramatic win.

The U12 White team opened the season with a 9-8 win over the Bath Bees last Friday night.  After getting the first inning of the season under their belt, the boys settled in and treated the home crowd to a come from behind win in the bottom of the last inning.  The team benefited from strong work on the mound by Michael (23), Preston (38), and Justin (11) working together with Nolan (23), and Brayden (42) behind the plate.  At the plate Noah (6) showed a fast bat the get the hits started in the 2nd inning, and Colin (37) blasted the team's only extra base hit in the 4th inning.  The play of the game was provided Anthony C (34), when with two outs and man in scoring position, Anthony made a shoe top catch off a sharply hit ball to right field for the fly-out to end the inning keeping Bath off the board, and within striking distance.  Entering the last at bat down by one, the boy's heads up base running quickly put two runs across the plate to close out the win.  The team is back in action tonight hosting the Williamston Hornets.
