Morley Doubles down the left field line in the 6th inning

The Potters lost the opener of the championship series Wednesday Night by a score of 7-1. The big blow for the Chico Heat came in the third inning when they put up 5 runs in the inning. The Potters would respond with a solo home run from JJ Santana Jr. but would be unable to score again in the game. The big moment in the game came in the 6th inning when Joe Starick singled then Brian Morley doubled to leadoff the inning and it looked like the Potters could get back into the game only being down 5-1 at the time. However, starter Blake Hannah proceeded to get Austen Swift to hit a soft line drive to the 2nd baseman on 1 pitch, then struck out Will Law and Charles Middleton grounded out on 1 pitch to end the inning and the threat. Chico would score 2 more runs in the game and would win by a final score of 7-1. The Potters face elimination tonight in Chico.
