Boars stun the Machine on opening day2024

I apologize to those sitting on pins waiting for an update on the game. Had some issues to deal with but all is well. The Wild Boars opened the season with a W over the Machine 17 to 5 The Boars overcame some issues mostly with our relief pitcher as they resulted in 4 of the 5 runs.

Dylan Bower took the start and exited after 4 with a 5 to 1 advantage. New Boars pitcher Nick Long picked up the win giving up 2 runs on a Jake Banks blast. But the Boars bats blasted 7 runs and continued till they had added 17.

New Boars pitcher Bryce Heller was a little shaky in his debut but managed to hold on allowing 2 runs to give the Machine 5.

Drew Scarberry and Kevin Roy (NP) pick up Offensive Players of the Game Scarberry blew the game up with a blast double netting 3 RBIs While Roy matched that with a Double to the fence but only plated 1 RBI. Both Drew and Kevin (some of the older guys) show that age is just a number.

Micah Stewart takes Defensive Player of the Game, the Boars returning 2nd Baseman Shortstop was everywhere Sunday including a blooper that he ran down to double up 2 Machine players. But his play of the day was roller up the middle diving for it flipping it to Seibert for the out.

Congratulations Nick, Micah Drew and Kevin on your great day. Next up the Dodger of Darke County come knocking to Schoolhouse Park at 12pm on Sunday the 14th of April.
