Going theme seems to be tight games for us to start this season off. Which isn't bad to be battle tested early. And unlike the last couple games this one we took the early lead. Going up 1-0 with Kuzara scoring off Sic RBI in the top of the first. Top of the 2nd inning with two strikes, Newman hit a three run home run over center field. Scoring Pender and Ramsby.  We had a good lead there coming into the 5th, being up 4-0 but the bottom of the 5th we had given them a little momentum back and they chipped away, clawing back and plating four runs to match us. But being in tight situations seems to be our comfort zone and chipping away late has been what we have done up to this point. We were able to come back in the top of the 7th and get two runs back. Greggo hit a double to score Kuzara and Robbins came up clutch with a sac fly to center field scoring Sartin. SMCC had a solid 7th inning of their own yet again matching us and coming up to tie the game. We headed into the 8th inning where neither team scored. The 9th inning we went into international tie breaker. Sic was moved over by a sac bunt by Greggo and then scored on a squeeze home by Robbins. Giving us the lead. Again SMCC matched us with a run of their own. it wasnt until the 10th that we pulled out the final run and closed the deal. Top 10, Scott moved the runner Pender to third and Newman came up and hit a seed to 2B. Pender made an absolute beautiful dive home to beat the tag giving us the go ahead run and ultimately the win. 

Not sure we have fully found our bearings quite yet, but I see a ton of fight and a ton of scrap in our lineup and we don't go away easily. Which is a huge part of the recipe for being and staying competitve on the year. When we figure out our defensive lineup and clean some things up, I like our chances in almost any big game.
