Talk was all over the radio last night about MBC's potential move to Bellevue. Rumors were flying that MBC was about to accept a sweetheart deal to play all their home games in the friendly confines of Wilburton Park.
Arthur Lane was quoted as saying "I just see the ball so much better at Wilburton", Cole Burcham commented on how much better the mound was for his blazing fastball and Guthrie Morrison said "My pick-off move is just sharper there, it might be the mound slope or perhaps the background for the runner is poor, but I feel like I could pick anyone off from that mound".
That said, MBC had another great game in Bellevue Saturday morning beating the Warriors 12-2. Cole Burcham was dominating in his four innings and Joe "Cool" Carey closed it out with a scoreless fifth in this run margin shortened game.
But it was all about the bats on Saturday morning. It didn't start out that way. Guthrie Morrison lead off with a walk, stole second and moved to third and scored on two consecutive balls hit to the pitcher proving that speed never slumps.
MBC broke it open in the third. Michael Bloedel led off with a walk and after a single by Jake Welch, and a passed ball, MBC was open for business. Guthrie scored Michael with an infield out and Joe Eskenazi scored Jake the same way. It looked like the inning was over, but Cole Burcham, Landon Fletcher and Thomas Carey all hit safely and when the dust had settled MBC had batted around and put up a five-spot.
The fourth inning was a deja vue moment. Again Michael led off with a walk, but this time Jake laid down a great bunt single. Guthrie walked to load the bases and Joe Carey singled with the bases loaded. The big blast of the day came next as with the bases loaded Joe Eskenazi belted a ball clear over the center fielder's head to score three. After Cole walked, Landon drove home Joe and the game was pretty much over.
