After two suspended games, the Joes finally got in a game against Indian Hill. This Indian Hill "A" team beat us 10-0 last year and finished fourth in the D4 Athletic League in 2010. And they had 3 league games and a tourney under their belts so the Joes had quite a battle. However, in true Joes' spirit, they showed they came to play by jumping out to a 5-0 lead. Indian Hill battled back to tie the score 5-5, the Joes kept swinging to take an 8-5 lead before giving up 5 runs in the 5th on their way to an opening 10-8 defeat. But -as we told them after the game - if they keep playing like that good things will happen in the 2011 campaign!
Mark led the way at the plate with a single and a hard-hit double. Nick had a big 2 RBI single to put us up 8-5, and Matthew had a hit. Runs were scored by Henry (2), Matthew, Hans, Mason (2), and Mark.
We played our usual great defense. On the hill, Peter pitched a solid 3 innings, Matthew pitched a scoreless inning, Nick got in his first work of the season, and Jacob closed out the 5th inning.
All in all, a very good effort for Game 1!
