Game # 28 - Broken Bow 8, Morgan Transfer/Olympia 0 - Recap

In a game that Olympia had been looking forward to for the second straight day, things just didn't go their way in this one. Scoreless going into the third and with two outs, and two on for Broken Bow, Darren Box hit a line drive down the left field line that Olympia thought was foul but the umpire didn't see it that way. Two scored on the play and Box scored moments later on a wild pitch. It remained 3-0 till the 5th when Broken Bow opened things up, scoring five times, making the final 8-0. Bricklen Anderson was impressive again for Olympia giving up only 3 hits until Bow's big 5th inning. He finished with 7 stikeouts, 2 walks, and gave up 7 hits. Gerald Muzielaar got his second win over Olympia giving up 3 hits, no walks, and struck out 9. Sisko Sabate got two of Olympia's 3 hits going 2 x 2 with a triple.

Although they did not make it to the semi-finals, Olympia felt their weekend was a success, knocking off off the runner up, Team Rainey (#15), and playing the eventual champs Broken Bow (# 1) as tough as anyone did all weekend they felt some strides were made against some of the top competition that will be seen at the ISC's. Having the two teams that made it to the championship game in your pool play, and then meeting the
defending ISC champs on Sunday was a tough task but the club played well and were just a few breaks away.

Olympia was a little shorthanded for the weekend without the services of their starting catcher and also Tim Wahl who was finishing up coaching. Outfielder Shaye Anderson swung a hot bat for Olympia all weekend. Chad Bryden also got some key hits throughout the weekend playing both second base and outfield. Kasey Knight did a fine job behind the plate in some emergency action and was also consistant with the bat.
