Nice Weekend
Nick Johnson started the weekend off on a positive
note with a CG shutout of the Osceola Braves on Friday. The
offense still isn't completely clicking but were able to scratch
across 4 runs early to give Johnson some breathing room.
Saturday, Garrett Choate kept Plum City off balance through five
innings and Luke Huebner came in to collect a 4 inning save.
Chuck Block hit a two run triple to put the Pirates up 3-0 in the 2nd
and came in on Brian Johnson's hot shot to 1B. Overall it was a
successful weekend putting the Pirates 6-2 in conference with two more
conference games coming up next weekend.
Pirates Start Season
2-1
The Pirates opened the season with a 7-0 win over Hudson as
they jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Chris Terrazas's 3 run HR. Nick
Johnson picked up the W by pitching 5 relief innings after Mark
Moriarty started the game. The squad dropped a game to New
Richmond after posting three runs on another Terrazas HR in the first.
New Richmond battled back to tie the score in the 5th, again in the
6th and took the lead the in the 7th after what was considered a minor
melee. The Pirates bounced back Sunday with a solid victory over
Ellsworth who battled until the end. Brian Johnson's two run
single in the 7th put the Pirates up for good. No bench clearing
events....which was nice!
