Ian Happ had 2 base hits at Fighting Sioux Field where the Mt Pirongia Kiwis
beat the Vermont Fighting Sioux 5 to 3.
 
Mt Pirongia scored 3 runs in the top of the 2nd inning when they had 3 base
hits.  After an out was recorded, David Dahl kicked off the action when he
banged out a single.  Oscar Mercado was the next batter, but he struck out.
Happ then doubled driving in a run.  Victor Caratini came up and he blasted a
two-run home run.  Vermont had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came
up short.  
 
Yonny Chirinos(2-0) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory.
Sean Newcomb got the save, his 1st.  Jack Flaherty(3-2) took the loss.  He
allowed 5 runs and 8 hits in 8 innings.  
 
Justin Rabidoux was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is
really hard to lose this kind of a game.  It may seem weird to some, but it
is easier to take the occasional blow-out loss.  It is the ones that just
barely get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
