Game  2

The Bar of Appleton played an extremely competitive game against its sister 
team  The Bar on the Avenue which is currently ranked #23 in the 
ISC's.  Both teams were scoreless going into the top of the sixth when the 
Bar on the Ave scored first when Trent Noe had a lead off double and 
advanced on a steal and scored on a passed ball.   The Bar on the Avenue 
then scored 3 more runs as our defense failed us when 3 errors were 
committed.  The Bar of Appleton answered in the top of the seventh when 
Terry Hanke reached by hit bats men, was advanced on a sacrifice bunt. 
moved to third on a hit by Brian Miler.  Hanke then scored when Tony Schaaf 
singled to left.  Mike Roberts then shut the team down.

In the final game of the tournament for the Bar of Appleton we played 
Circle Tap (#4 ISC's) to a very competitive 4 to 0.  We were unable to 
really mount much of an offense but were able to use strong defense and 
pitching to keep Circle Tap in check until the 5th when Chris Miljavac hit 
a two run homer and then added two more homers in the 6th by Robbie O'Brien 
and Dan Garvey.

The Bar of Appleton   0  0 0  0 0  0 0     0  3  0
