MBC Surprises Dow with Big Finish

MBC broke open a tight game in the fourth and fifth inning and beat Dow 11-2. The game was a pitchers duel for three innings, and then MBC opened the flood gates to make it an easy win.

Two starting lefties went at it early, and it was as good as 13 year old ball gets. Joe Carey for MBC left with two outs in the fourth trailing his left handed counter part 2-0. His brother Tom relieved him getting out of a two out bases loaded jam, and cruised the rest of the way.

This is when the MBC cavalry showed up. In the fourth, Guthrie Morrison led off by lining out to short, an out, but a sign of good things to come. Joe Carey then singled and he was followed by a Joe Eskenazi single. Big Cole Burcham greeted Dow's reliever with a booming triple and the game was tied. After Landon Fletcher walked, MBC pulled a double steal of second and home, with Landon taking third on the over throw. Arthur Lane then belted a deep fly to left to score Landon.

In the fifth, Jackson Hirch started things off by being plunked. Jake Welch laid down another picture perfect bunt and MBC was in business again. Guthrie launched an RBI single and was followed by Joe Carey second hit of the game to score one more. After Joe Eskenazi was plunked Cole hit a hard grounder up the middle and Dow's throw to the plate was miss handled. A critical mistake. Landon Fletcher boomed a double for two more runs, Tom Carey drove a run in with an infield out and Arthur Lane ended the run-shortened game with a walk off RBI single, his second hit and second RBI of the game.
