Team and individual statistics will be updated and posted after the second game of today's doubleheader.
The Warriors took the early lead when Matt Carroll bunted down the third base line for a hit and later scored on Tyler Dempsey's sacrifice fly to shallow leftfield. Tyler was the Warriors' starting pitcher and held the Bobcats scoreless through the first two innings of play. He struck out three hitters in this outing.
The score remained at 1-0 in favor of the Warriors until the Warriors exploded with nine runs in the top of the fourth inning. The Warriors had seven hits in the inning, including doubles by Cody Rutledge, Jason Enguita and Trent Sichelski. The scoring escalated as a result of three Tinley Park fielding errors in the frame.
Connor Bartle pitched the third and fourth innings for the Warriors. He allowed just one baserunner, while striking out two.
The Warriors scored eleven more runs in the fifth inning. Four of the runs scored when Tyler Dempsey hammered a grand slam over the leftfield fence. This was the team's first homerun hit out of the park and its second grand slam of the season---Matt LeVigne hit a grand slam at Homer earlier in the season.
