Not only was the temperature cold Thursday night, the bats were also for both teams as North Myrtle Beach and Loris played a 7 inning scrimmage game to a 3-3 tie at the Polo Grounds in the Ripken Experience complex.  Bill Seddinger hit a home run over the right field wall in the 1st inning.  Seddinger also had a single in the 3rd inning.  Billy Ferguson hit a triple to the right center field gap in the 6th inning and rising 8th grader Will Hardwick roped a single in the 4th inning.  That was all the hits the Chiefs managed on the night. 

Pitching looked outstanding though.  Junior Dedrick Searcy started the game and struck out the first 7 Loris batters he faced.  Searcy pitched 4 innings, giving up 2 runs, striking out a total of 10 Loris hitters.  Jason Ritter entered the game to pitch the final 3 innings, allowing only 1 run while striking out 6 Loris hitters.
