Wrangell's little league major league teams met again last Wednesday,
May 15. The Wolverines and the Cubs, the league's two major league teams, have been equally matched all season. Two weeks ago, the Cubs were able to
pull ahead of the Wolverines with a win, making them 3-2 for the season against the Wolverine's 2-3. However, the Wolverines were able to claim a strong win last week, and re-tie the two teams' records.
The game opened very strongly for the Wolverines, which made three
runs in the first inning against the Cubs' one. Neither team could get additional runs in the second inning, but the Wolverines got to pull ahead another three points in the third inning. The Cubs made a second run in the fourth inning, but that would be the last point they made. The Wolverines continued to make score after score, ending the game with a score of 11-2. Both teams are once again tied for the season, 3-3.
"These teams are both really competitive for this early in the year, they look great," said Wolverines' Coach Andy Hoyt. "The kids are coming along great. Our bats came alive tonight and won the game for us, couldn't be more proud of them."
The two teams were scheduled to meet again on Monday, May 20, but the game was cancelled because no plate umpire was available that evening, according to Kaelene Harrison, with the little league.
