Game 1:

Feldman Strikes Out 13 as CK Defeats OLL 2 - 1

It looked like a repeat of the Shrine games when the Lakers pushed across a run in the top of the 1st and the Crane bats remained quiet.  CK had a golden opportunity in the bottom of the 4th with bases loaded and no outs, but a force play at home and a couple of routine defensive plays ended the scoring threat.

CK took the lead in the bottom of the 6th as Alex Roed led off with a single.  Grant Reuss reached on a Lakers error and Cam Maxwell hit a perfectly placed sacrifice fly to right field to drive in Roed.  Jeremy Loewenstein laid down a perfect bunt that hugged the line and stayed in fair territory, scoring Grant Reuss.

Zach Feldman controlled the mound for the Cranes, pitching a complete game victory while allowing only 3 hits on the day and striking out 13.

Feldman, Roed and Reuss went 1 for 3 on the day to lead the Cranes from the plate.
