BYRON CENTER HIGH SCHOOL: 8
Game 1
Wow, the wind was blowing! A hefty wind blowing out to right field made it difficult to track fly balls, hit the cutoff man, and keep hats on heads. Both teams' pitchers threw well, but the Bulldogs from Byron Center shut-out the freshman Eagles 8-0 in Game 1.
Ben DeYoung started the game, throwing an incredibly efficient 72% first-pitch strikes. He and Jake Koetje only gave up five total Byron Center hits. Even a mid-game bat change by Parker DeHoek brought a really nice line-drive, finding a hole in the infield, but it wasn't enough for the Eagles. DeYoung even picked off a runner at 2nd base (that's 2 straight games for the Eagles picking players off 2nd base!).
