The Bellaire Cardinals got a star studded performance from pitcher Kyle Chaskin and good solid
defense behind him. Chaskin only a sophomore, went the distance striking out 10 wolves and
stunning The Westside Wolves with a 2-0 shut out in game two of the b best of threeb series at Ray
Knoblauch Field. This win also marks the first cardinal win over the wolves this season. He was
able to keep Westside batters off balance mixing his pitches, changing speeds, using his fast ball
and slider. b I felt pretty good when he (Coach Rocky Manuel) called my name, I knew I could do a
good job and I didb said Kyle Chaskin.
Bellaire defense played a near perfect game. In the third inning Chaskin gave up a walk to Garrett
Shaw but later got out of the inning when Matt Clayton attempted a sac bunt that sail to the third
baseman for the put out to help end the inning. Other defensive plays were when The Wolves
Michael Goodnight lined a shot that look like it would get through near second was caught by the
second baseman in the forth, Freddy Villalobos scorched a ground ball between second and third.
Bellairebs short stop Alex Silver turn in a highlight reel turning to his right, running, gloving the ball
and firing over to first to complete the play. Higgins made a great play in center field turning on the
jets to catch a ball that had base hit written all over it.
In the bottom of the forth is when the cardinal found some light. Chaskin led off with a single to
right field, then replaced by pinch runner Aaron Hafer who stole second, Will McCaleb singled in
Hafer for the first and only run the cardinals would need. Later Bellaire would get an insurance run
when Alex Silver singled down the left baseline, Jeremy Schaffer was hit by a pitch and Kyle
Chaskin singled in Silver for a 2-0 lead that held up for the victory.
