Zeeland East Baseball hosted a doubleheader against Holland, winning both games. The first game ended with a score of 12-5, and the second game with an 11-8. The Chix had a strong start in the first game when Jr. Ryan Kuzma hit a home run in the 2 inning. At the start of the second game, Holland scored first in the second inning, but the Chix tied it 3-3 at the top of the 3rd inning. Jr Cameron Jaworowski said, “Starting slow, having a tired game 3-3 in the 3rd inning, but coming into the 4th, we fell apart, allowing Holland to score 5 runs. Once we got the last out, our energy came back after scoring 8 runs, putting us in the lead,” Coach Matt Sattler said. “It felt pretty good in the first 5 innings of the first game. Being up 12-0, our guys hit the ball pretty well. Mason Raade was great on the mound; he threw a lot of strikes, keeping them off balance. But Holland crept back up, making us play a few more innings, which I didn’t love. All in all, this early in the year, they were solid.” During the second game, the Chix were down until the 4th inning when Jrs. Derek Baxter was able to get on base and a double hit by Jaworowsk, allowing the Chix to stay in the game, and score 7 more runs
