Game Post composed with file from Paul Bagnell.
Under the incandescent lights on a warm Spring night, the Lizzies defeated the Giants in four innings at Christie Pits Diamond 2 to win their Peewee Division season opener.
Here are the highlights:
- Despite finishing short on the scoreboard, there was lots for Giants fans to applaud about during the game.
- Giants starter Will threw three straight strikeouts to get the game started, and the big righty looks set for another strong season on the mound.
- Piper scored the first Giants run of the 2015 season by getting on base on a walk and then stealing his way around to third before being brought home on a RBI sacrifice groundout by Curtis.
- Giants reliever Curtis took the mound in the top of the second and held the Lizzies to two runs whilestriking out one batter.
- Giants first baseman Sam helped the cause by scooping up a grounder and registering an unassisted out at first base in the second.
- The Giants bats went silent in the bottom of the second, with a three-up, three-down inning.
- Reliever Piper pitched the third inning for the Giants and registered his first strikeout of the year.
- Once again, Sam put his defensive skills on display, nicely scooping up a ground and making the throw to Cameron at first.
- Giants reliever Nigel was the hurler in the top of the fourth and notched his first strikeout of the year.
- Nigel and first baseman Piper combined for a beautiful pickoff play at first base.
