The expansion Wolverines traveled out to Monroe for a double
dip against the Redlegs last weekend. The Wolverines opened
up their season one week prior in the Memorial Day
Tournament and made a splash right away by winning it all.
The Redlegs were eliminated by the Mad River Machine who
lost to the Wolverines in the championship.
Matt Redman started on the mound for the Redlegs and turned
in an outstanding performance. Matt notched a complete game
victory in game 1, allowing only 2 runs while punching out 4
Wolverine batters in the outing. Redman allowed only 7 hits
and gave up 0 walks.
The Wolverines drew first blood when they scored in the top
of the 1st inning, but the Redlegs answered in the bottom
half and took the lead in the 2nd. Jackson Millard led off
the 1st with a walk and was later driven in by Brad Clark on
a sacrifice fly. Zach Carroll and Matt Mattice got things
going in the 2nd by each drawing walks. Both runners would
later score on a fielding error.
The Wolverines made it a 4-2 ballgame in the 4th, but the
Redlegs added some insurance in the 4th and 6th. Mattice
led the 4th off with a single, stole 2nd, and then scored on
a double by Matt Morrison. In the 6th, Morrison and Bradley
started the inning with walks. Morrison would score on a
line drive to left by Millard that was a little too hot to
handle for the left fielder, and Bradley was driven in by
Kyle Arend who singled.
The Redman retired the Wolverines 1-2-3 in the 7th to nail
down the victory for the Redlegs.
