Well, game 1 is in the books. For those who weren’t there, the Final score was Danville 16, CBC 6. It didn’t go exactly as we had hoped, and we found a few things that we need to work on, but I had fun and I hope you guys did too. This was the Danville coach’s report on our first game (I agree with it, so I didn't bother writing my own):
“CBC traveled to Danville Thursday night for the Danville Baptist home opener and CBC's inaugural game in the SCSU. CBC jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first and held Danville scoreless with some flashy D in the bottom of the first. Danville's bats responded with 4 in the second, and 2 in the third while holding CBC scoreless through innings 2 and 3. Danville scored 5 in the 5th with long homeruns from 3B Ernie and LF Wayne Dinsmore. Danville was able to hold off numerous rally's from CBC with solid defense. Offensive starts of the night for CBC were leadoff man Jason R. 3 for 4 with a run scored and Damian W. 2 for 3. Offensive stars for Danville, Coach John E. went 3 for 3 with an RBI, LF Wayne D. 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's with a towering moonshot to right and LC Phil C. was 4-4 with 3 RBI's
Highlight reel: Neal Mathews ringing up Lou with a called 3rd strike in the 6th inning from CBC pitcher Damian. Lou gotta get the bat off the shoulder!
Great fellowship throughout, Danville was blessed to meet our brothers from CBC and look forward to seeing them again this season!.”
Highlights for CBC:
- Jason R with a 4 for 4 performance, 3 singles a triple and a run scored (our scorebook shows a slight discrepancy on one of his hits).
- Damian W going 2 for 3 with a run scored
- Rich B going 2 for 3 with 3 RBI
- Jamie “gold glove” B finding out 10 minutes before the game that he was going to be at 2B despite playing outfield almost exclusively in practice and subsequently turning in a very solid performance.
