Riverhawks Shutout the Tigers
The Mosquito OBA Riverhawks came away with a huge 7-0 playoff victory tonight in Dresden! It was a great all around effort by all the boys anchored by some outstanding pitching from Duncan and Van Gorp.

Duncan pitched 5 2/3 innings tonight before he hit his pitch limit of 70. Van Gorp came in to seal the shutout victory. The offence was a little slow to get going but some smart base running got the boys on the board in the 3rd. Irwin had an RBI single, Kelly had an infield single to drive in a run. The boys were able to play some small ball using a few bunts and stolen bases to manufacture some other runs.
The defense was rock solid again tonight, Verberne made a couple good catches in left field. Douglas was great behind the plate again. Pavey ended the game with a nice catch on a line drive and threw to first for the double play.
Great job by everyone tonight boys!! Lets keep it going next week when we have our rematch with Dresden on Tuesday night.
Go Riverhawks!!!
