This week in CCJBL Baseball!!!

Chadwick Silver Streaks @ Savanna Indians, Old Mill Park

The Streaks scored in the opening frame on a solo smash by phenom Matthew Williams but Willie Hayes answered with a homer of his own in the third off of Chadwick ace Jared Weaver. In the bottom of the fifth The Indians scored a pair against Weaver on a home run by Brad Ausmus and a run-scoring triple by Hayes. 

Savanna hurler Robin Roberts had not given up a hit since that first inning homer but things quickly fell apart for him in the sixth. Michael Kelly singled and stole second, then scored on a game-tying two run dinger by lanky infielder Jose Lind. Roberts was lifted in favor of Claude Jonnard after giving up a single to Williams. Jonnard got Reggie Sanders to strike out but then gave up another Chadwick homer, this time off the bat of John Berardino.

Jesse Haines had a little trouble in the bottom of the sixth but eventually finished off the Indians.
