2021 MHSAA Tournament: Division 3 State Semifinal - Traverse City St. Francis vs Richmond
EAST LANSING -
HOT TAKES
CO-PLAYERS OF THE GAME: Tough call to make for player of the game with numerous options, but we are going to go with Jack Hitchens and Aidan Schmuckal. Hitchens came in relief and after allowing the tying run to score, was lights out after, allowing just the one hit in 2.2 innings of relief. Schmuckal was 2-3, with two doubles, a run scored, two RBI, a walk and threw a runner out trying to steal.
WHAT A 4TH INNING: Bases loaded, no outs ... Back-to-back-to-back strikeouts from Charlie Peterson ended the threat.
DEFENSIVE MISCUES: After Peterson's 4th straight strikeout, a HBP, double, and two errors led to a pitching change and a tie game followed.
EXECUTED TO PERFECTION: After Richmond tied it in the 5th inning, St. Francis answered with the go-ahead run. A single, bunt, RBI put St. Francis in front before Jake Hitchens sat Richmond down in the next frame one-two-three.
