The Warriors scored five runs in the first inning on five consecutive hits. Jason Enguita doubled and Matt LeVigne tripled in the inning. It was Matt's fifth triple--tying a Warriors' all-time record for triples in a season.
Lemont struck back with two runs in the bottom of the frame after the first two batters reached base on hits and later scored.
The Warriors attempted to keep the score within reason against an overmatched Lemont team by bunting more than ten times during the contest. Some hitters did not wish to damage their statistics by bunting into an out--so they attempted to lay down a sacrifice bunt (which does not count as a plate appearance) or bunt for a hit. Connor Bartle bunted twice for hits in this game!
The Warriors scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning on three hits--including a bunt single by Jim Robley. Jim then retired Lemont in order in the bottom of the second inning.
The Warriors scored just one run in the next two innings of play when Zac Zavod singled to leftfield and later scored on an infield error. Lemont scored two more runs in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 8-4. Jason Enguita pitched a scoreless fourth inning. This was Jason's seventh appearance of the 2011 season.
The Warriors scored twice in the top of the fifth when Tyler Dempsey hammered a homerun that may have traveled 400 feet from home plate. This was Tyler's second homer of the season. Trent Sichelski allowed just one unearned run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Trent struck out two hitters.
The Warriors had six hits in the sixth inning to score five runs. Rick Sisco tripled to deep centerfield in the inning. Matt Olinski was impressive in the bottom of the frame--striking out two and holding Lemont scoreless.
The Warriors added one more run in the seventh when Matt LeVigne singled and later scored. Rick Sisco retired two batters in the bottom of the seventh before Steve Sismelich entered the game and retired the final hitter of the game on a pop fly to Connor Bartle at first base.
