March-Westins first game of their Thursday night doubleheader was a rather forgettable loss to team PASS. However, the second game of the night against Laurel Homes was anything but that.

Westin quickly bounced back from their loss. Led by the solid hitting of Brian Bailey, who traveled from Weston to join the team. It was a hard fought game as both teams had numerous 2-out rallies. March-Westin suffered several injuries as they clawed their way towards victory. Dave (ankle), Scott (wrist), Wimer (thumb), Nick (hand), and Bailey (knee) were all struggling through their own pain for the better of the team.

“Our guys showed a lot guts going out there with all their injuries, we weren’t going to let this win slip through our hands.” Said Nick, who was filling the coaching responsibilities as coach Tom was out of town. Nick went on to report that as Bailey’s knee was bleeding from sliding into the fence while chasing down a fly ball he responded in the classic Jesse Ventura of Predator fashion “I ain’t got time to bleed.”

Nick also homered in two consecutive at bats (a 3 run HR and a 2 run HR). The second of which was during one of the many, and now infamous, 2-out rallies.

When all was said and done and the dust had settled, March-Westin walked off the field victorious in a 30-26 win that lasted a grueling 1 hour and 27 minutes.

March-Westin stays at .500 with a 2-2 record.

Another doubleheader is scheduled for Monday night starting at 7pm.
