IN SHORT
The Cougars jumped out in front 8-0 in the first inning as they capitalized on a number of Springfield errors, while working four walks. After the fast start, Chatham would never look back.
After failing to put up runs in the following two innings, and seeing three Minutemen cross the plate in that span, Chatham again got on a roll in the bottom of the sixth as Mike Hale scored the Cougars after singling to left field.
Solid pitching, combined with quality fielding, timely hitting and great base running helped Chatham to a solid win.
