Winning road trip readies team for first game in Ypsi
May. 29, 2009 · 5:36 a.m.
The Midwest Sliders of Ypsilanti will be coming to their first home game of the season tonight with a successful road trip under their belts.
The Sliders will go up against the Frontier League’s defending champions, the Windy City Thunderbolts. The Thunderbolts, 5-2, are leading the Western Division.
After four games against the Florence Freedom and three against the Rockford RiverHawks since the season started May 20, the Sliders are 5-2 and a half game back from the lead in the Eastern Division.
The Sliders’ home opener is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at EMU’s Oestrike Stadium. Councilmember Brian Robb, D-Ward 3, will be throwing the game’s first pitch. Ticket information is available on the team’s Website.
Looking at the numbers, the team’s spokesman, Matt Thompson, said the game should lead to an exciting matchup. The Thunderbolts have won the league’s championship two years running.
“I have no idea what to expect,” he said.
On the road in Kentucky last week, the Sliders split their four-game series with the Freedom. They shut-out the RiverHawks in Illinois in a three-game series this week. The Sliders spoiled both teams’ home openers.
In Thursday night’s double-header against the RiverHawks, the Sliders came up 7-1 in the first seven-inning game. Kyle Kearcher pitched the entire game. The Sliders won five runs in the fifth inning, including a grand slam from Chelsea resident Jimmy Baker, after playing four innings back by 1-0.
The Sliders closed the double-header with an 8-1 victory. Taylor resident Doug Brooks pitched all seven innings, striking out three batters and allowing only three hits. Jeremy Jones and Gil Zayas both hit two-run doubles, in the fifth and seventh inning respectively.
