INDIANAPOLIS —
Girard Little League fell behind 9-0 early during its Monday afternoon game with DeSoto and despite scoring two runs in the third, two in the fourth, five in the fifth and two in the sixth, Girard could not overcome that early hole and dropped its third straight contest in the Midwest Regional Tournament, 18-11.
Girard scored its first two runs on a combination of hits, walks and wild pitches. Camden McFarland led off the frame with a single, then Cody Mein reached on a walk. Both runners would later score on wild pitches.
Mein picked up a pair of RBI in the third, when his two-out single plated Ty Norris and McFarland. Three errors in the inning helped Girard out. Mein reached Girard on one of the errors but could not be pushed across by his teammates.
Girard scored five in the fifth on the strength of a Norris RBI single, a McFarland RBI single, a Mein RBI single and a two-run single by Goff. Norris singled home Hughes and McFarland singled home Boatman in the sixth for the final runs of the game.
Four Girard players combined for all nine RBI — Mein a team-high three and Goff, McFarland and Norris each with two. After only two hits during its first game Saturday, Girard batters have accumulated 22 hits, both games 10-plus hit affairs for the Kansas state champions.
