Holton Splits with Silver Lake in Offense Packed Games

It was a double-header between Silver Lake and Holton, last night and the games were action packed full of offense from both team, as the games combined last five and a-half hours.

In game one Silver Lake got out a lead and extended it to a 12 run lead a one point in the game, Holton not giving up brought the offense themselves and fought back in the matchup, but ultimately fell short, as Silver Lake notched the 17-14 win.

Game two, was pretty much the same story line as game one with plenty of offense between the two teams and a 12 run lead, also, but this time Holton had the 12 run lead and Silver Lake tired to make a comeback. Silver Lake fought back with their offense but just like Holton in game one fell ultimately short as Holton earned the double-header split with a 19-14 win over Silver Lake. Brandon Schumann had two home-runs for Holton in the game two victory.

Holton is now 4-10 on the season (2-3 league) and will next be in action tonight in a league double-header on the road at Frankfort, 6:00 and 8:00pm. The 6:00pm game can be heard on Kanzaland radio (92.1 KMZA & 103.9 KNZA), also online by clicking the KNZA play-by-play broadcast link under the listen live tab on the menu bar on mscnews.net.
