Subject: District Tournament Game 1 Vs Minico

Last night was a good game all around.  The whole team played well.
Things were close though until the end.  Russell went 2 for 3 from the
plate with a fly out, a walk, a double and a 2 RBI single near the
end.  He also came in and pitched the last two innings, allowing no
runs.  The Russets ended up winning 9-2 and play the championship game
tonight at 7pm.

Here is an excerpt from the Post Register about the game:

"With an early 3-0 lead, Gardner went into cruise control on the
mound. The Russets' ace surrendered just three hits and no runs
through the first five innings.

"We got a good effort from Ryan Gardner," Horne said. "He did a good
job, he threw seven innings for us, you know and he did a great job.
So overall, we did a pretty good job defensively too."

Eventually, however, Minico began to wear down Gardner in the sixth
inning. A throwing error in the infield scored two and suddenly Minico
had cut the Russets' lead in half.

But that didn't seem to scare Gardner, who finished out the sixth and
continued to dominate in seventh before Russell Phillips relieved him
in the eighth. Phillips carried on the solid performance from the
mound for the Russets by shutting out Minico in the final two innings.

"Russell came in and he did an awesome job for us. He's been ending
them for us pretty much the whole season. I felt like he came in and
he did what we asked him to do," Horne said."
