Posted Jul 17/11 - Flames 10, Lake Henry 7

Brad Mergen pitched seven solid innings, allowing just one hit and striking out 12, as Farming won 10-7 at Lake Henry on a sultry Sunday afternoon.   The Flames pounded out 14 hits and took advantage of four Lake Henry errors. 

The Flames got the bats going early and often in taking this first round playoff game.  Craig Klein hit a two-run homer in the first to give Farming an early lead.  Later in the inning, John Theis' single score Greg Holthaus from second to complete the three-run rally.

In the third, the Flames had another big inning.  Craig Klein was hit by a pitch.  Greg Holthaus grounded to second, but an error put runners on second and third with nobody out.  Chris Wehseler single scored Craig, with Greg taking third.  Erik Schmitt pinch-ran for Chris.  John Theis grounded to second, but another error scored Greg and put runners on first and second.  Derrick Roush's bunt single loaded the bases.  Brad Mergen's single scored Erik, and kept the bases loaded.  Chad Mergen hit sharply into a double play, scoring John.

In the sixth, the Flames scored two more runs.  Zach Posterick reached on an error.  Brandon Bokinskie singled, with Zach taking third on the play.  Ryan Schleper pitch-ran for Brandon.  Craig Klein's single scored Zach.  Greg Holthaus singled to load the bases, then Chris Wehseler walked to score Ryan.

In the eighth, Ian Hoffarth walked and scored on a double by Derrick Roush for Farming's final run.

With the victory, the Flames now advance to play in the winner's bracket next Sunday at Richmond, 1:30pm.  The winner of this game will advance to the 15C Region Tournament.  Come on out to Richmond next weekend and cheer the club on!
