CHBC got a two out rally going in the top of the fifth inning led off by Nowitzke getting a single to left field and followed by a walk by Radloff and Rueff getting hit by a pitch to load the bases. A single by Kyle Lamb brought in Nowitzke and a double by Mueller scored Radloff and the courtesy runner Isaac Wells to tack on three more runs for a 11-0 lead. Odin was able to get one run on the scoreboard in the inning, but the Bobcats were able to hold off Odin to close out the 11-1 five inning run rule win to kick off their season at 1-0. Lamb had a big day going 3 of 4 at the plate with a pair of RBI while also pitching two scoreless, hitless innings for the Bobcats.
