Game Summary
Blair was outplayed early again in a 6-3 defeat at Churchill. The Bulldogs led 3-0 in the first before a ball was hit out of the infield and we can't seem to get off to a good start in any game. Trailing 6-0 after two, we missed a lot of scoring opportunities which would come back to haunt us as Peirce Marston and Alex Egber relieved starter Lucas Babinec (0-3) and worked 4 scoreless innings. Alex Egber finally got us on the board in the fifth with a two-run double and Elliot Meyerson added an RBI single in the sixth. Babinec went 2 for 3 with a walk to raise his team leading batting average to an incredible .551.
