Indians cruise to first win of the season

By: Tyler Sluder

Last night, April 7, 2008, the Norwood Indians baseball team defeated the Mt. Healthy Owls in a final score of 12 to 2. The Indians were led by senior pitcher Adam Clark, who only gave up to runs in the six innings he pitched. Clark also had 14 strikeouts.

The Indians also hit the ball very well last night. Brett Brinkmeyer lead off the game with a double down the third base line. Two batters later, Adam Clark hit a double that scored Brinkmeyer. The inning continued after Clark stole third base and Jeff Tyree walked and stole second base. Following the walk Tyler Sluder had a base hit that scored Clark and Tyree.

The hitting did not end after the first inning. Clark added another hit and Chett Williams had two hits and a sacrifice bunt. Tyler Sickinger ended the game with a single to right field that brought home two Indians and clinched the win and put the ten run mercy run intact.
