March-Westin returned to the diamond Wednesday night after going deep into the WV State Qualifier tournament, eventually losing to Motown Softball (of the BOPARC Open Flight league).

This week MW would take on an up and coming Chestnut Ridge Church team, lead by Pro Bowl Quarterback Jeff Hostetler.  But The Hoss was no match for the March-Westin offense as MW continually punched line drives through the infield.

MW looked solid in the field as well, this in spite of a muddled lineup where James, Jackson, and Dave were all absent; forcing Wimer to move to 2b and Jason Dean to be called up for active duty.

Offensive highlights for MW include Wimer going 4-5 and nearly hitting for the cycle (needed a HR), Jared was 3-4, and Jeff who was 4-5 included a bases loaded double in the top of the 7th.

MW went on to claim victory by a final score of 15-8.

March Westin returned to their winning ways on Thursday evening by defeating BOAZ by a score of 9-8.  In what ended up being an offensively challenged game, MW managed to push across one run in the top of the 7th and held BOAZ scoreless in the bottom half to secure the win.

Highlights include Dave going 3-3; Brian going 4-4; and Jared hitting a two-run triple to tie it late in the game.

March Westin takes the field again on Wednesday, June 4th at 9 on Liberatore against MR Trophies.

In a battle of the undefeated teams, March Westin vs. Biundo Rehab, it was Biundo Rehab that came away with an unblemished record by a score of 18-14.

In what should have been a fully locked and loaded MW team, MW struggled mightly in the field and also at crucial moments at the plate.  Jackson made his 2008 MW debut and Jared and James made their returns as well after missing the last couple games.

MW was plagued with multiple drops, perhaps none bigger than Nick’s two out drop in the 2nd inning leading to a huge inning from Rehab.   This seemed to set the tone for the evening as many other MW’ers continued with the trend of dropping fly balls.  

MW also struggled at the plate when scoring opportunities presented themself.  MW grounded into numerous double plays, including a bases loaded, no outs, down by 5 rally in the bottom of the 7th to essentially wipe away any chance for a MW comeback that you know and love. 

Hitting highlights include a successful 2008 debut for Jackson by going 3-4 with an inside the park homerun, while Jared returned by going 2-2.  Jeff continued his torrid hot streak by going 2-2 and left many questioning why Tom removed him from the game. 

MW will take the field again on Thursday, May 29th at 7pm against BOAZ.

March Westin will visit the Brew Crew on Sunday, June 15th at noon on Whiston Field.
