March-Westin once again showed that they can hit great, even late, as they defeated Wendy’s last night 27-20.Overall MW responded well to the lack of playing time after two consecutive games were rained out. Although their fielding appeared rusty at times, several of the blunders could be attributed to the field conditions.

The fields were in use all weekend, often times during the rain which caused standing water to accumulate in the infield. Although the field had some work done to it before the start of the evening’s games, it was still in poor condition for the 10pm gametime.

Wendy’s, the clear underdog going into the night’s matchup, put up a surprising showcase on the offensive side, with numerous base hits. However Wendy’s was at a disadvantage defensively as they were forced to play with only 3 outfielders, leaving far too many holes for MW to abuse.

And abuse the outfield is exactly what MW did, as the game entered the final innings MW really started to turn up the fire and used a 9 run bottom of the 6th inning rally to help seal a victory. “We thought it would take 20 to win, not 30” said one Wendy’s player.

Some notable orders were Wimer who biggie sized his offensive combo meal as he went 4-5 with two triples. Jackson and Nick also ordered up a couple classic triples, while Johnny, Dave and Tyler took one each. Scott decided to go with a single and a double with a side of diving catch.

James had a good night on the mound, appearing to be in full control of his pitch placement. And although the scoreboard does not reflect it, the pitching surly contributed to limiting Wendy’s big play capability, holding them to mostly singles.

MW has another layoff due to the July 4 holiday, they will return to action on July 10th as they take on #4 ranked John Howard at 7:00pm.
