Blown Away

Traverse City 12, Chillicothe 2

The Beach Bums pounded the Chillicothe Paints by a whopping score of 12-2. It's just another day at work when you're trying to get things going and things aren't falling into place...the right way. Oh well, I guess the most exhausting part of all this is that this is a stretch of 9 games at home, and you can get tired watching all these innings. Trust me, it happens sometimes.

Ryan Flanigan pitched 6 and 2/3 innings of work in his start for the Paints, and he would give up 7 runs on 5 hits allowed and a walk. He would strike out 7 batters, which was impressive, but still, the hits and the runs were far too overwhelming of stats to make this a good start. Edwin Walker also pitched in this game, and this wasn't so good a game for him, which is rare, because he has been, for the most part, a true breakout performer for the team.

The offense only scored 2 runs, and those came off of an RBI double by Adrian Cantu, and an RBI single by Joe Spiers. Josh Blackstock had a single. Drew Saylor had an infield single. Jeff Vincent had a double. Drew George had a single. Travis Garcia had a single, and I believe that puts him just 3 hits away from the all-time Paints lead in total hits.
