WF Blue's solid effort ends in a tie with S. Orange after 9 innings

Despite the overflowing garbage cans, the "creek" that swallowed a dozen new baseballs and the artificial turf mound (that needed to be brushed every other inning) Westfield Blue remained focused and once again proved that they could compete at a high level against anyone.

Following a quiet 1st at bat for S. Orange, Steven B. continued his 3 game homerun hitting streak, by "going yard" over the right field fence in the 1st inning for W Blue.

Westfield continued to get solid pitching performances from Rowan Oberman, Tyler Roth and Owen Murray, held together by George Murray and MJ behind the plate.

South Orange put 3 on the board in the second inning and 1 in the forth. They were then silenced until the 8th inning when they scrapped to produce a single run.

W Blue scored in the second inning when O. Murray was driven in by a hard hit grounder by Dan Crisuolo.
Owen B. lead off the 3rd inning with a line drive single to left field M J reached on a fielders choice and was stranded following 2 ground outs as S Orange pitchers continued to keep WB hitters off balance.

W Blue was able to score in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 4-4 game and send it into extra innings.

The 8th and 9th innings were filled with some questionable calls but highlighted by some outstanding defensive gems from Parker Hess, O. Colwell and R. Oberman
