The skies threatened to open up but held off long enough to allow the Cambridge Bears Varsity Baseball team to defeat the North Atlanta Warriors by a score of 7-1 Monday night, March 14th at Cambridge field. 

Buoyed by a strong pitching performance by Austin Weiermiller, who tossed a complete game, and 11 hits by the Cambridge hitters, the Bears cruised to their fourth consecutive region win.

The home team got on the board first with a run in inning two.  Brett Hawkins singled to left field driving in Sam Waylock, who was running for catcher Luke Foote who had walked earlier in the inning.  After a scoreless third, the Bears pushed their lead to 3-0 in the fourth.  Cameron Moore was hit by a pitch and Hawkins followed with a walk.  After a stolen base, Moore scored on a balk.  Hawkins later came around to score on a single by Davis Dasher.

A Pete Gottschalk double and a single by Bradley Wiedman plated another run in the fifth inning to make the score 4-0.  Weiermiller was on cruise control at that point mowing through the Warrior lineup.  The 6th inning brought 3 more runs for the Bears as four consecutive hits by Dasher, Weiermiller, Gottschalk and Hayden Onorato closed out the scoring for the Bears.  North Atlanta pushed across a run in the 7th to make the final score 7-1 in favor of Cambridge.

Weiermiller got the win allowing a single run on 5 hits with 9 strikeouts and no walks.  Senior Pete Gottschalk remained red hot at the plate going 3 for 3 with two doubles and 2 runs scored.  Davis Dasher and Hayden Onorato each had a pair of hits, while Weiermiller, Wiedman, Foote and Hawkins each had a hit.

The Bears continue their series on Wednesday, March 16th with a game at North Atlanta at 5:55 PM.

Go Bears!
