Will Baker did it with his bat and Beau Baker did it with his arm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined, the two juniors helped the Bellmont Braves beat Whitko at home Saturday, 13-3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Baker finished 2-for-3, driving in five runs as the leadoff batter. The shortstop actually did not make an out, reaching on an error and hitting a double and a single and walking once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beau Baker pitched a complete game (six innings with the run rule) and struck out ten, while walking just one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves did a great job at the bottom of the order getting on base for Baker’s later at-bats. #7 hitter Aidan Zimmerman had two hits and scored twice, while #8 hitter George Gardner walked twice and scored both times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9 hitter Mason Martinez was somehow hit three times, that’s right, three times, and also had a single in a game where he used his speed to score three runs and steal two bases. Gardner also swiped two bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves also played Peru Saturday, falling 13-1. They managed just two hits against Peru ace Dylan Heyob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Werling had a double and Will Baker, who started the game at pitcher, had a single. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves face tough challenges in the conference in the upcoming week with games at Columbia City Tuesday and at home against rival Norwell Thursday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
