Pony Division

Mets 10 – Rams 6 … On Tuesday, the Mets (5–2) jumped out front early with big run-scoring hits from Andrew Gross and James Snyder, but the Rams (1–7) responded with a six-run barrage over the second and third innings to deadlock the score. The Mets got a key RBI single from Erin DelPierre late in the game and held on for the win.

Colts 11 – Padres 10 … Despite a great pitching effort Wednesday by Cody Yentzer and Blake Chisholm of the Padres (3–6), a double off the bat of Jon Mata gave the win to the Colts (3–5). Colts hurler Cole Moyer pitched three innings of one-hit baseball and helped his own cause with two triples and one double. Eric Hironimus and Ben Gill did a stellar job relieving Moyer.

Midget Division

Tigers 11 – Braves 4 … The Tigers (9–0) hit five home runs in their win Tuesday over a gutsy Braves team (0–8). Long-ball hitters were Aaron Gress with three, and Zach Hoffman and Anthony Glusko with one apiece.

Sox 7 – Orioles 3 … William Zeigler got his first start of the year Wednesday for the Sox (6–2) and threw five strong innings, striking out seven Orioles (3–6). Zeigler helped his own cause with his first home run of the season. Bailey Herrold homered twice and had all three RBIs for the O’s.
