The Scott Cubs

Game 1 of the pre-season tournament was well-played. As the visitors, the Cubs came out scoring. We batted all the way through the line up in the first inning, scoring 4 runs. Then, Colton Scott - the winning pitcher - started off right with two strikeouts in a row. The first inning was three-up, three-down for the home team. We batted around again in the second inning, this time scoring 4 more runs, but with some very dramatic action (more on that later). The home team scored three runs in the second inning. We scored another in the third. Then Calvin Miller came in as relief for Colton and struck out the first two batters, allowed a couple of hits, but shut the game down with a solid strikeout after time had expired. The final score: Cubs 9 - Predators 5.

One of the most exciting memories from this game came in the second inning. Ian Hudson was on first base when Ryan Nelms came up to bat. On the first pitch, he took a strong swing at it and it sailed out over the center field fence! An out-of-the-park two-shot homer. This earned him the Silver Bat award. He also earned the game ball.

Good job Cubs!
