“We got off to a rough start and played sloppy for the first couple innings, but were able to settle in and play better as the game progressed,” commented B-E Head Coach Brian Perleberg.  “Marshall Riedel came into the game in relief and pitched 5 1/3 innings of no hit ball.  He got into a groove and got better as the game went along, striking out eight of the last nine batters to end the game. He really stepped up and gave us the pitching performance we needed.”

Riedel (2-4, 2B, SB, R), Tanner Bitzan (1-3, 2R), Gaven Jacobson (1-1, R) and Tony Schaffran (1-3, 2B, R) led the Chargers offensive attack.

“I’m proud of how the guys battled back when faced with an early game deficit,” said Coach Perleberg.  “It’s never easy to fall behind early, especially in a post-season elimination game, but now it’s time to get back to work and prepare for Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale.”
