Zeeland East varsity baseball team hosted Grandville for a non-conference double-header on Saturday.  The Chix and Bulldogs were originally scheduled to play at a Portage Northern invite, however, due to field conditions it was canceled.  

In the first game of the double-header the Chix came out victorious winning 11-1 in 6 innings.  Max Salas threw 5 innings and records the win on the mound.  Salas allowed 1 run (unearned) on 1 hit while striking out 11.  Koby Windeler struck out 1 in relief to finish the game.

Offensively, the Chix were led by Quincy Thome who was 3-3 with a single, double, triple, 3 runs scored and an RBI.  Austin Keur had 1 hit, 3 RBI and two runs scored in the game, while Aidan Coutts also scored two runs and a hit.

In game 2 Grandville rallied late to win 10-8 over the Chix.  Zeeland East jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead and held it for the majority of the game until Grandville added 6 runs in the 6th inning.  Zeeland East had bases loaded in both the 6th and 7th inning with a chance to tie or win the game, but couldn't scratch them across.

Trevor Raade started on the bump for the Chix.  Raade threw 3 innings allowing 2 unearned runs and two hits while striking out 5 in the no decision.  Max Mulder was solid in relief pitching 2 and 1/3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits, striking out 4.  Noah DeWitt takes the loss with 1 and 2/3 innings of work.

Offensively the Chix were led by Austin Keur who had 3 hits in the game including a double and two runs scored.  Noah DeWitt and Quincy Thome each added a pair of hits as well.  

The Chix move to 5-1 on the young season and play again on Tuesday in an OK Green Conference double-header against Wyoming.
