Two More Wins

The Prowlers won twice more Sunday, earning the South Gwinnett tournament championship. Will seems to be regaining his hitting stroke, hitting three more hard line drives. He scored three of the Prowlers’ eleven runs in the nightcap, and drove in runs in both games.

Game One was played at Parkview. In the third Will’s single up the middle drove home Ryan G from second with the first run of the game, giving the Prowlers the lead to stay. In the next inning he hit a line shot right at the leftfielder. Instead of trying to kill the ball, he’s swinging more relaxed and extending his arms, with favorable results.

At shortstop he tagged out a base-stealer, and caught a popup while going back into the outfield…his only two chances.

Tyler pitched 4-1/3 innings, striking out six, leaving with a 9 – 3 lead. The tall lefty also stroked a home run onto the batting cage roof, behind the right-field fence.

After a between-games lunch at Applebees, the Prowlers completed the sweep with a 11 – 2 win over the George Walton Bulldogs. Will stroked the first pitch of the game into the left-centerfield gap for a double, and later scored on Jared’s sac fly.

After a 30 minute rain delay, the Prowlers scored six in the third and four in the fourth. Pitchers Mitch and Ryan G spread out a mere four hits over the six inning game. Outfielders Ryan G and Audie made spectacular catches, and Will again was the middleman on a 4-6-3 double play. He also threw out two other runners at first, and caught a pop running into shallow centerfield.

After Michael’s double plated Ryan T, Will stroked a line drive to center that kept rising, over the centerfielder’s head, rolling to the fence 370 feet away for an easy RBI triple. He scored on Audie’s single.

In the fourth Will was hit in the foot, loading the bases. After a RBI walk to Jared, all three runners were able to score on Tyler’s single to right.
