The Nighthawks 13AA Granite Marble Interiors met the Lincoln Cyclones for a double header Sunday, April 22. Bergen Hofer was on the mound for the 1st game and pitched a great game holding the Cyclones to only 4 runs. GMI had some trouble getting the bats going though and only managed one run of their own to go down 1-4.
The defence for GMI was showing some signs of improvement in the first game with only a couple of errors. Gage Harbaugh did a good job catching only letting a couple of pitches get past him. Gage is improving behind the plate every game.
Drew Poulas made a couple of nice catches in the outfield which was nice to see. The outfield has had so problems early this year just letting the ball bounce in front of them instead of taking the extra step to make the catch. Drew didn't let that happen this game.
Game two GMI was the home team for this game and got the bats going in the top of the 1st. Brock Hegarty did his job as leadoff taking the pitcher deep and ending up with a walk. Tyler Push then hit a nice double to score Brock. Addison Gloeb then singled moving Tyler to 3rd. Riley Harms hit into a sacrifice to score Tyler to give GMI 2 runs in the 1st.
Addison started on the mound in the 2nd game and was throwing some good heat shutting down the Cyclones in the 1st. The 2nd inning Drew got on by way of a walk followed by a single Sam, and we managed 1 more run in the second. The Cyclones also picked up a run to make the score 3-1 after two. The Cyclones pick up one in the 4th to make it a 1 run game at 3-2 GMI.
GMI had a big inning in the 5th, Gage got things going with a single followed by Tyler drawing a walk. The a shot from Addison for a double and scoring Gage and Tyler. Riley also got a single and Bergen walked to give GMI a 3 run inning. Cyclones wern't going away scoring 3 runs of their own to keep themselves only 1 run back. Neither team scored in the 6th.
Drew pitched the late innings and did pretty good, he also had some good defence behind him to shut down the Cyclones in the final inning giving GMI their 1st and much needed win.
The next up for GMI will be the West O Rays at home. Check back for photos and comments on that game and if you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to post them.
