Jake Nelson wears the jacket as the @raisingcanes Master of the Game! Jake went 1-3 with a 1B, BB, RS, RBI, and a SB. He made a diving catch in RF with 2 outs and the bases loaded to keep it a 2-1 deficit in the 4th. Big time play! @Cherokee_HS#IF
A slightly delayed @raisingcanes Master of the Game goes to Brett Jackson. Brett earned the win on the mound going 6 and allowing 3 earned. He helped himself with the bat going 3-4 with 2 HR, 2 RS, and 3 RBI. Captain did it all in a must win game! @Cherokee_HS#IF

The @raisingcanes Dog of the Game goes to Max Reichard. Max had a massive 2 out, 2 RBI 1B when the Chiefs were facing a 3-0 hole in the bottom of the 2nd. He also had a SB and scored 2 runs. @Cherokee_HS#IF
Steve Barbagiovanni gets the @raisingcanes Master of the Game. Barbs went 3-3 with 2 runs, 2 RBI, and a SB. Big game for the senior captain! @Cherokee_HS#IF
Chiefs get the W against Holy Spirit! New 3-4 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI. Jackson 3 run HR, Burti 2 run HR. Bruccoliere and Nelson 2 hits each. Wolfe earns the win and McHale closes it out. Solid team effort! @Cherokee_HS#IF

Chiefs overcome Jackson Twp. 5-4 in the @CvCDownbeach Drew Gable 2-4, GS and GW 2B in T7 to drive in PR Jake Nelson from 1st. Litsky 2.2 scoreless for his 3rd W. Jackson slams the door shut in B7 with 3 K on 11 pitches. Big W for the boys! @Cherokee_HS#IF
The @raisingcanes Master of the Game goes to freshman Drew Gable. Drew went 2-4 with a GS in the 3rd and the game winning RBI 2B in the top of the 7th in a 5-4 victory. (Yes, he had all 5 RBI!) @Cherokee_HS#IF
And the @raisingcanes Dog of the Game goes to senior Brett Jackson. Brett walked 3 times and lead off the 7th with a walk that turned out to be the GW run. He entered with a man on 1st and no outs in the B7 and struck out all 3 batters he faced on 11 pitches. @Cherokee_HS#IF
The Raising Cane’s @raisingcanes Dog of the Game goes to AJ LaMarca! AJ reached base in all 3 ABs with a 1B, BB, and HBP. He scored 3 runs and stole 2 bases. @Cherokee_HS#IF
