Previous games: 2 losses against the Lincoln Blackhawks 12-4 and 8-0

The Nebraska Braves 14u (navy) gave it all they had this last weekend facing defending AAA gold bracket state champions Lincoln Blackhawks. Losing both games was not what the braves were hoping. Starting pitcher Taylor Jirovsky threw 4 steller shut-out innings with the braves up 4-0 in the top of the 4th, Easton Bentjen trying to shut the red hot hawks down gave up 7 runs in 2 innings after the bottom of the 4th the braves couldn’t get a hit off the Blackhawks and lost the first game 12-4.    Christian Harris got the start on the mound in the second game and threw 4 stellar innings until he experienced shoulder problems, he left the game while Easton Nelson came in the game throwing 3 innings “It was good that Christian came to us and told us he was having soreness/stiffness in his shoulder, because if he hadn’t he could have hurt himself and had to sit out a couple games due to injury” pitching coach Jeremy Webster stated. After the game Head/assistant coach Steve Buss says “We came ready to play these guys, we just had a couple of calls that didn’t go our way… we can’t control that guys. We hit the ball.. we just hit the ball at people. They hit the ball in the gap and we made some errors on easy fly/ground balls… that’s baseball boys.” The braves will be in action this Friday in Omaha for the tiger ropes tournament.
