Bernie, Missouri - Cearwater varsity baseball team defeated Bernie 7-2.
"We kicked it around again today. We had three inexperienced pitchers going today and although they did alright--our defense let them down," stated Bernie head baseball coach Darrin Shipman.
Clearwater scored 5 runs in the third on a hit-batter, walk, and one out hits by Alcorn, Holmes and Hillis. A failed double play ball back to the pitcher
prolonged the inning and allowed two runs to score as the throw to second sailed into center field.
Bernie scored its two runs in the bottom of third on a walk to Beck, a hit by Brown, and a two-RBI double by Beacham.
Clearwater added two runs in the seventh off of pitcher Preston Barber. A key error on the right-fielder proved costly for Bernie.
Their big inning started out with a hit-batter and a walk to the bottom of the order and you can't do that," continued Shipman. "Their top of the order made us pay. Their pitcher (Alcorn) threw extremely well and was probably the best pitcher we had faced this year. Hopefully we can turn things around this weekend against very good teams in the Malden Tournament."
