Posted May 8/10 - Different Uniforms, Same ol' Story

After spotting the FW Indians another 7 runs to start the Championship Game, the Gloves showed grit and battled back in a frigid thriller under the lights in Columbia City only to lose 7-6.  With game time temperature dipping below 40 degrees and the crowd barely visible under their scarves, ear muffs and blankets the Gloves stumbled and fumbled their way to spotting the Indians another 7 runs.  Trailing 7-2 in the botton half of the last inning, the Gloves finally began findng the holes with their hits and scored 4 runs on 4 hits and a couple of walks.  Dane Johnson's hard ground out to the shortstop ended the rally and gave the Gloves a second place finish to earn a birth in the BPA World Series in the Greater Lansing Area.  Another Deon moment awaits.

Thanks to all of our fans for gutting out weather that included gusting winds, rain, sleet and near freezing wind chill factors all day while our fearless head coach was sitting in th warm confines of the Memorial Coliseum.  The boys also askedme to wish all of the moms and grandmas Happy Mother's Day. 

Battery:  Hissong, Hill(3), Morlan(5) and McDermitt.
