The Post 20 bats were hot, not just from the 89-degree heat Saturday, but by the 13 hit attack and seven extra base hits against Plymouth. (All photos by Mark Smith) Post 27's Jake McMahan talks to CP catcher Jose Andrade. McMahan, who just graduated LaPorte high school, faced Andrade and Crown Point high school three times during the high school season.  McMahan batted .404 for LaPorte with five home runs and 34 RBIs.
Josh Negele was 7-2 at CPHS this season with 97 strikeouts in 62 innings. Manager Marty Zubriggen flips the ball back to the home plate umpire. Zurbriggen was glad to see Post 20 score 41 runs in their final three games last week.
Fans in the stands had lots to cheer for as Crown Point scored 16 runs in the first four innings against Plymouth. Manager Marty Zurbriggen watches Jake Lindeman lead off third base in the fourth inning. Lindeman has a sore shoulder and was limited to pinch running duties.
Brian Holloway is greeted at home plate by Xavier Ponce (10) after his fourth inning homerun against Plymouth Saturday.
