Kadden Drew threw for the first four innings while staying strong through the difficult first inning. Following Drew, Tomas Urbina and Carter Parcher came in for the relief final five innings. Urbina struck out two while Parcher struck out four, neither of them letting up any runs. Combined the pitching staff had seven strikeouts.
Even with the great pitching, the real star of the show was the offense. Lead by Andrew Valdez who went 2-for-4 four with two RBI’s. Valdez has the highest batting average for the Bells with a BA of .373 as of June 25th. The Bells had a rough start but managed to pick it up in the sixth and the seventh inning where they scored five of the six runs.
