U12 D&M Silkscreen finishes undefeted!

The Holt Jr. Rams U12 D&M Silkscreen team had to come from behind again to beat Waverly, which gives Holt D&M a perfect 12-0 record for the season in their division!!!   Holt D&M fell behind 4-0 in the first two innings as their bats started out cold.  However they were able to turn the game around by not getting down on themselves, playing better defense,  and heating up the bats in subsequent innings.  They managed to come from behind and win it 7 – 4. 

Holt Jr. Rams U12 D&M Silkscreen   12-0

Holt U12 Clash part 2: White vs. D&M

6/30/10: Holt White took on Holt D&M again in their second matchup in PONY league play.  Like their first meeting, it was a nail biting battle at the end.  Holt White came in with winning on their mind and the 10-0 Holt D&M team came in thinking the game was automatically theirs.  Holt White pounced early by denying Holt D&M any runs in the first inning while posting three for themselves.  In the top of the second inning Holt D&M managed to claw in 3 runs to tie it up 3-3.  Then they had visions of giving Holt White a goose egg of their own after striking out the first two batters; however Holt White had visions of a two out rally and racked up 6 runs only to be stopped by the single inning mercy rule.  Holt D&M’s bats fell flat again in the third inning and were not able to score any of their base runners, while Holt White punched in 3 more runs to make the score 12 – 3 going into the fourth inning. 

 

We’re not quite sure what coach Denison told the boys on the D&M team (maybe we don’t want to know), but with their perfect record on the line they finally woke up out of their daze and smacked in 6 runs in the fourth inning while tightening up their defense to  hold Holt White scoreless.   With one more inning of play the score was 12 – 9 with Holt White in the lead.  Holt D&M came out strong again with some key base running and some very key hits to put them up 14 – 12.  Holt White was the home team and had last bats and one final chance to pull out a much deserved victory.  However Holt D&M held strong and pitched out of the inning without giving up a hit, giving Holt D&M 11 straight wins and just one win away from a perfect season.

 

Congratulations to both teams for a well fought and exciting battle!!
