POTW: Ian Maher

Hit it and quit it

After struggling through nearly two games, Ian Maher redeemed himself by hitting a game tying 2 run homer to lead Hit it & Quit it to a come from behind victory. Maher went hitless in the first game of the doubleheader and then misjudged a fly ball in the 2nd game that led to 2 runs and the lead for Weapons of @$$ Destruction. But Ian showed great poise and guts by coming through in the bottom of the 7th with the clutch 2 run homer.
In one of the best played games of the year at Odle Middle School, the score was tied 1-1 through 5 innings. Weapons squeezed two runs over in the top of the 6th to take a 3-1 lead. After Hit it & Quit it went meekly in the bottom of the frame, Weapons wasn't able to tack on any insurance runs in the top of the 7th, leading to Maher's heriocs with 1 out. Then with the game tied, Hit it & Quit it strung together 3 more hits that pushed the winning runs across.
