Baker Printing got the season off to a fast start with and cruised to a 17-2 win over defending champion Campbell's Boathouse on Monday night.

Campbell's pitcher Sam Holefelder kept the Baker squad off balance in the first inning with a steady dose of curve balls and held Baker to 2 runs. In the bottom of the 1st, Aiden Carroll and Holdfelder both drove in runs to tie the game at 2. Baker used strong defense to shut down Campbell's turning a 1-3-2 double play (Smith-Williams-Evert) to keep the game tied at 2. However, Baker exploded for 8 hits and 11 runs in the 2nd inning which propelled them to a 13-2 lead. Baker extended their lead in the top of the 4th thanks to a 3 run home run blast to deep left center field by Owen Evert. Owen finished with 2 home runs, a double, a single and 7 RBI's and scored 4 runs. Leadoff hitter Brian Virbitsky scored 4 runs while collecting 3 hits at the plate.
