Our sixth day of the trip took us to South Bend, Indiana to play South Bend Post 50. Prior to the game, Post 50 coaches and parents cooked hamburgers and hotdogs for us. We got there at about 5 pm local time to eat and then played a seven inning game which we won 11-8. The people from Post 50 were awesome just as the folks in Edmonton, Kentucky were the night before.
Game 9: Post 34 - 11 South Bend - 8
Post 34 would get on the board early when Tanner Ashcraft hit a three run home run that scored Jacob Bush and Cameron Sanders who had both reached on hits. Brett Snider started for Post 34 and after giving up 5 runs in the first two innings, settled down to only one run over the next two innings to pick the win. For the game, Snider had two strikeouts and allowed four hits and four walks. Terran Cochran pitched the fifth inning, allowing 2 runs on one hit and three walks.
Post 34 added single runs in the second and third innings to tie the score going into the fourth at 5-5. Post 34 would break open the close game in the fifth when Garrett Stallings and Brandon Tubbs got back to back singles with no one on base and two outs. Austin Alexander followed with a walk and Blake Herren was hit by a pitch to score Stallings. Singles by Austin Dickerson and Jordan Cooley scored 3 runs to put Post 34 up 9-6.
After Post 50 scored two in the bottom of the fifth, Post 34 would add two runs in the sixth. Austin Alexander drove in two runs with two outs with a deep fly ball to straight away centerfield. Alexander came up big for Post 34 the rest of the game as well on the mound. Alexander retired all six batters he faced in the last two innings, three were strikeouts.
Post 34 will have Thursday off from playing. This will be our first off day since last Friday. Currently Post 34 is 29-9 on the season and 9-0 on this road trip.
