After a 3 game skid, we have made it to the regional MINK League tournament in Clarinda, IA. We were seeded #5 in the tournament out of 7 teams and drew the Omaha Wildcats in the first round. The wasn't a lot of information on this team, except that most of the players are from Wayne St. (Neb.) and that they had won their league in Omaha. Scouting has it's place in regular season games and could help in this tournament, but the coaching staff wasn't concerned because we would have the same lineup regardless.
After an injury to one of our starting pitchers, once again we turned to Jesse Bachman to start the game. He delivered. He pitched a complete game, 5 hit shutout with 13 strikeouts. Really good start for us! Our offense generated plenty of runs, including a two-run home run to win the game 4-0. Great feeling for our squad as we gained some momentum into today as we face #1 seed and hometown host, the Clarinda A's.
The game's at 8:15 again tonight and we look to continue our success so far.
