POWER FAILURE

After coming back from the Christmas break on January 5th and lighting up the score board,  Monday night at Immanuel, Christ Church failed to find any spark in dropping the night's series,

In Game One, Christ Church failed to score.  Athough almost matching immanuel in hits seven to eight, only once did Christ Church manage more than one hit in an inning, that occuring in ninth.  David Stierle had a two out triple in the third.  Leah Bennett led off the second with a single.  Jerry Hinton and Leah added one out singles in the third and fourth respectively and Jerry added a two out single in the eighth.  In the ninth, down by three runs, Leah and Dick Lutz singled with two outs but the futility continued.  Immanuel scored two in the fifth (Dick homered, Zach tripled and Frank singled) and one in the eighth (Zack homered).  The Final- Immanuel 3 - Christ Church 0..

In Game Two, Christ Church was able to put the lead-off batter on base twice (Jerry singled in the second and David singled in the fifth, but neither scored.  Christ Church's first run of the night came in the third on a home run by Mike Peak to give Christ Church a 1-0 lead.  Immanuel tied the game in the fifth on Tanner's homer.  In the seventh, Lean singled and scored a batter later when Bob Stone tripled.  Christ Church managed to out hit Immanuel five-three.  The Final- Christ Church 2 - Immanuel 1.

Both teams had seven hits in Game Three.  Christ Church struck nfirst with a first inning solo home run by Tom Bennett.  Immanuel took a 2-1 lead in the third on a single (Jim(, triple (Buzz) and single (Frank) and added a run in the sixth on Zach's HR,  Christ Church had singles by Leah (in the second and fourth), Mike P. (third), Dick (fifth) and David (seventh and ninth) but could not produce the second hit in an inning to produce the trun needed for the tie.  The Final- Immanuel 2 - Christ Church 1.
