\n <\/p>\n
After a lopsided loss last night, the Chinooks came out fighting and pulled out the win Thursday night, 5-4 over the Battle Creek Bombers. <\/span><\/p>\n The game was tied for most of the night as the Chinooks struck first off of a sacrifice fly by Ryan Krill<\/b> (Michigan State)<\/i> that scored Charlie Markson<\/b> (Notre Dame)<\/i>. <\/span>The Bombers scored the next inning and took the lead in the 4th<\/sup> on a Collin Willis single to center field.<\/p>\n Not to be outdone, the Chinooks matched again in the bottom of the inning when Markson drove in Nate Ruzich<\/b> (South Suburban)<\/i>. <\/span>Markson reached base three times tonight and drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. <\/span>“I like to change the way I hit based on where I hit in the order and (Coach John Vodenlich) put me in the leadoff spot in the beginning of the season so I feel like that is my role; run and put pressure on the defense to set a tone for the team. <\/span>Bats are contagious so if I start it, it’s going to go down,” said Markson.<\/p>\n The Bombers put up a good fight, stranding 8 runners on base through the first four innings, but couldn’t bring them home. <\/span>The Chinooks on the other hand were handed free bases as three Chinooks were hit by pitches. <\/span><\/p>\n The game winning run came when Zack Granite<\/b> (Seton Hall) <\/i>scored from third on a throwing error to first in the 7th<\/sup> inning. <\/span>That was all the Chinooks could manage, but all they needed as Kenton San Miguel pitched a scoreless 8th<\/sup> for the bombers. <\/span><\/p>\n Carson<\/b> Beauchaine<\/b> (Saginaw Valley State) <\/i>got the win tonight, pitching four scoreless innings of relief for the Chinooks. <\/span>San Miguel took the loss for the Bombers. <\/span><\/p>\n Note: In 2009 San Miguel recorded 22 strike outs in high school over 7 innings, which included every batter he faced including one who advanced to first on a dropped third strike. <\/span><\/p>\n The Chinooks and Bombers are back at it tomorrow night for a rubber match to determine the series. <\/span>First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm at Kapco Park in Mequon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another Close Game Leaves Chinooks on Top After a lopsided loss last night, the Chinooks came out fighting and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
