CLOVER HILL
W 8-7
In game 16 of a very tough season, the Chiefs show tremendous heart and resilience rallying late for an 8-7 win over Clover Hill on Logan Staib�s game winning RBI single in the 8th inning. Trailing 7-3 going to the bottom of the 6th, the Chiefs score 1 run in the 6th and 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th to tie the game. In the bottom of the 7th, with 2 outs and no one on base the Chiefs began the game tying rally. Logan Staib reaches on a single, James Lawrence is hit by a pitch, Mike McCollum drives in the Chiefs 5th run with an RBI single and Ryan Oliver walks to load the bases. Next up to the plate is pinch hitter Jake Tuzzo who is just over two weeks removed from being hit by a line drive over his right eye which required more than 50 stitches. Tuzzo, in only his second pinch hitting appearance of the season, bangs a clutch 2 out, 2 RBI single up the middle driving in the tying runs (Lawrence & McCollum). In the 8th inning, the Chiefs hold off Clover Hill�s attempt to go ahead, stranding a runner that had reached third base with only one out. That set the stage for Logan Staib�s game winning RBI. Bruce Bower led off the 8th with a walk and after an unsuccessful attempt to sacrifice Bower to second base, Flynn Huntley works a walk. There is one out after a force play at third gets Bower. The next batter is Logan Staib who lines the first pitch down the left field line sending Huntley sprinting home with the winning run. Huntley, then Staib are mobbed by their teammates in celebration of the win. Staib�s game winning hit capped a big offensive day. Staib went 3 for 4, launching a 3-run homerun in the 3rd inning to go along with 2 singles, 4 RBI, a walk & 2 runs scored. Adding to the offense were Flynn Huntley 2 for 3, a walk & 2 runs scored, Tizard (single, 1 R/S), Lawrence (double, 1 R/S), McCollum (single, 1 RBI, 1 R/S), Oliver (double, 2 walks, 1 R/S), Tuzzo (single, 2 RBI) and Faison (1 RBI). Cam Shaw went 5 & 1/3 innings, pitching very well through 5 giving up just 3 runs (2 unearned) & 4 hits. Josh Faison relieved in the 6th with the bases loaded & one out & allowed only one inherited runner to score. Faison in only his second varsity pitching appearance finished the game working 2 & 2/3 innings giving up only one hit and allowing no runs, outstanding work.

Preview
Ricmond Times-Dispatch March 21, 2008
Outlook: Monacan (10-10) coach Andrew Daniel enters his second season, though familiarity with his pitchers hasn't improved. The Chiefs have three new faces on the mound, but should be potent at the plate. Senior James Lawrence hit .358 last season.

MIDLOTHIAN
W 2-1
The Chiefs and Trojans wage a 9 inning battle on the season's final day as the Chiefs prevail 2-1 at home. Will Bays answers Chris McConnell's pitching gem from the day before by keeping his pitch count very low in the early innings to go the distance on the mound by giving up only 4 hits and no earned runs. Outstanding defensive play helps the Chiefs all day, particularly from the outfield. Brandon Granger comes up big several times but none bigger than in the top of the ninth with an outstanding throw to the cutoff in front of home plate stopping the go ahead run at third. Chris McConnell drives in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th with a shot by the Midlothian 2nd baseman. While no Chief gets multiple hits, 7 pitch in with one a piece including Dustin Woody, Chris McConnell, James Wilkerson, Will Bays, Cory Tuzzo, Chris Turner and Brandon Granger.
Trojans....................000 001 000 - 1 4 4
Chiefs......................010 000 001 - 2 7 3
