Sidelined for a week by wet weather, the Bruins resumed their SRD play against Little Flower on a cool fall Wednesday evening at Schlitt Park.   In their first meeting, BSS took Little Flower 3-2.   This time the game went to Little Flower 9-8.  The score flipped back and forth for two innings and each team held the other scoreless in the third. Little Flower put 4 runs on the board in the top of the 4^th on walks, passed balls, wild pitches and fielding errors.   BSS answered with 3 runs in their last at bats,

with a lead-off double by Tom Newell and singles by David Wasser and Jacob Wear. After the next two Bruins batter struck out, Casey Sheehan singled to right and stole his way over to 3^rd.   But Sheehan left at third base when Little Flower rang up out number 3 and the 90 minute game clock ended the game at 4 innings. 

It was frustrating night for Casey.  Sheehan reached base in each of his bats with two walks and a single, and went to  3^rd each time on steals and/or teammate hits.  But each time Casey was left at 3^rd as the Bruins could not get him to the plate.  Hats off to lead-off batter Tom Newell who reached base on a walk, a fielder’s choice and a double and who scored a run each time.     Wasser, Wear, Greg Larson and Sheehan each had singles. Larson, John VonBehren, Anton Katalinich and Trey Dhabalt reached base on walks.   Starter Greg Larson kept the Bruins in the game for 3 innings, striking out 6 LF batters with 3 of them called looking.

Little Flower and the Bruins will play their last game on Thursday, October 17 at Schlitt. The Bruins will make up their rain out game against Bank of Springfield on Tuesday, October 15 at Schlitt.   Game time is 6 p.m. for both games.
