Rebels vs Simpson

Production from the entire line-up, good defense and pitching to contact produced a 9-4 win over Brighton's Cardinals(Simpson). Several players had a good night at the plate, highlighted by by a pair of triples from Kelyn Cope and Matthew Johnson. Lucas Baalman reached base in every at-bat for the second straight game. In the field, Cope and Baalman both started inning-ending double plays and Johnson made a couple of good catches in right field. On the mound, Tate Bohannon got the start and gave up a couple of unearned, first inning runs. Trevor Carpenter came on in the second and went the rest of the way. Carpenter didn't fool too many Cardinal batters, but was very efficient by throwing strikes and letting the defense make plays behind him.
