Burke homers in loss

It was a beautiful afternoon to sit out and watch baseball at Glatfelter Field. Unfortunately, the Tide baseball team wasn't feeling the love from the weather gods, losing to Lancaster Mennonite, 15-1 in a game called after five innings because of the 10-run rule.

The lone highlight of the game for the Tide came in the fourth inning. With the Tide trailing13-0, Michaael Burke launched a fast ball toward the deepest part of the yard at Glatfelter Field and once it got over the head of the Mennonite centefielder,  Burke just sprinted around the bags, making it home well before the relay throw.

The Tide got off to a rough start. Mennonite's first two hitters had solid singles up the middle off Tide starter Chris Aruda. Following two sacrifices and another single, the Blazers, coached by former Tide coach Steve Robinson, had a 2-0 lead.

In the second, three walks and an infield hit made way for a bases clearing double for Mennonite early in the inning followed by another bases loaded hit later in the inning. At that point, Mennonite was blazing, leading 10-0.

With lefty Jimmy Lee now on the bump, Mennonite added two more runs in the third and a single run in the fourth before Burke has some fun running the bases.

Mennonite scored twice more in the fifth and finished the game with 13 hits and they also walked six times.
