QT Tournament Game 1

Drew and his Holly teammates travelled to Lake Fenton to take on the Fenton team in today's opening round of the Quadtown Tournament. The teams would be playing intermediate rules in this tournament, which meant longer base paths and a longer distance to home from the pitching mound. The kids could also take a lead off of the bases and steal at any time.

Fenton got off to the fast start tonight, shutting Holly down for three straight innings while plating three runs in the first inning. Drew got an at-bat in the first inning, but ended up going down swinging. Holly changed pitchers after the first, and settled things down after that. They finally broke through in the fourth inning, scoring five runs to grab a 5-3 lead. They kept the hot bats going in the fifth, including single by Drew. He stole third base and home, scoring one of his team's four runs in the inning, jumping out to a 9-3 lead. They gave one run back in the fifth, but still maintained a five run lead heading into the sixth and final inning. Holly failed to add on to their lead in the top of the inning, which included a strikeout by Drew, as he went down looking. Fenton continued their comeback efforts in the bottom of the inning, scoring three runs to make it a two run game before Holly finally managed to seal the win with the final out. With the 9-7 victory Holly moves on to the Championship game on Thursday, the 29th.
