Charleston, Missouri – Tonight at 5:30 p.m. it’s winner take all in the Missouri Senior Babe Ruth State Tournament.  The Charleston Fighting Squirrels will take on Boonville at Hillhouse Park in Charleston.  For the Squirrels they do not want to see a repeat performance of Tuesday nights game. 

Boonville jumped out in front with a 4 – 0 lead over the Squirrels.  They suffered a loss to Charleston in game #18 and have come back strong winning their last four games. 

Charleston seemed plagued with errors early on defensively, but managed to earn two runs in 4^th cutting Boonville's lead in half.  The Squirrels just couldn't catch a break at the plate and Boonville was just too much owning the 6^th inning with 4 more runs.

Jason Mattison started as pitcher for Charleston allowing only three hits in five plus innings before being relieved.  Charleston changed pitchers two more times and finished the game with Chance Maness on the mound.

“We just didn’t play well,” stated Mike Minner, head coach for Charleston.

Boonville and Charleston will be back in action at 5:30 p.m. tonight.  It’s the last game of the season for one team; the other will advance to the Regionals in North Dakota.  Boonville is 23-4 on the season and Charleston is 34-16. 

Final Score:  Boonville 9  Charleston 3

Charleston  0   0   0   2  0  0  1  -  3   5  6

Boonville     1   2   1   1  0  4  x  -  9   6  2
