Ballard closed the game in the 7th. He struck out two, issued one walk and gave up one hit.
The Pirates had three hits and they all came in the fifth inning as George Boyd and Kole Adams doubled and C.J. Ballard had a triple. Adams had the big hit has he banged a high fast ball off the left center wall fence with a 3-2 count and two outs to drive in two runs.
It was a good scrimmage game for the Pirates. Good pitching and timely hitting got them the win. Defense struggled a bit, but this was the first game and extremely cold.
The Pirates will host Luella on Tuesday (weather permitting) at 5:55 p.m. Always a good close game with the Luella Lions. Come out and support the "Boys of Winter"!
