"Rocket" Hugan Takes Down the Competition

I'm not a sports reporter, but I'll do my best here...
Tuesday afternoon (May 8
th) the Inter-City Baptist Chargers Junior High baseball team took down one of their competitors, 9-3 in a full 7 inning game. There was no doubt that the whole team contributed to the big win, especially some awesome infielding that kept the runners down to a minimum.

A major contributor to that infield stood on the mound for the full 7 innings; Michael Hugan. Michael pitched a solid game with a considerably low pitch count. Out of the opposition's 21 outs, 16 of them were STRIKE OUTS! That's a record outing for the young right-
hander who also went 3 for 4 at the plate, with 2 doubles, and 2 runs.

In one of last week's games Michael went 3 for 4 and was a home run away from a cycle. (That means he hit a single, a double, and a triple.) Needless to say, Michael is having a fun season!
