BLUE SOX, from page 16 rolling in the second inning when DH Matthew Koperniak (Trinity College) Legals delivered with a single to drive in a run. In the fifth inning the SteepleCats got another RBI single, this time from CF Jeffery Brown (The Citadel). The Legals SteepleCat offense was able to break open the game adding three insurance runs thanks to a three-run home run by C Chad McDaniel (Missouri University). That is all the offense that was needed for the SteepleCats, as they came away with a 5-0 victory over the Blue Sox. Although the bats stayed quiet for the Blue Sox, RF Ryan Perkins (Murray State University), 3B Freddie Landers (Savannah State University), and 2B Simon Whiteman (Yale University) were all able to collect hits for the Sox. “I just thought we did a little bit too much,” said head coach John Raiola. “The players were pretty jacked up before the game. We have to go back to doing the things we did in the first three games of the year, and if we do that we are going to be in good shape.
