Rebels played Hull Scorpions today.
For the first time this season Joe Coxon started on the mound and Jacob Henry started behind the plate as the catcher/umpire which was a continuation from the last inning battery from last weekend's game vs Long Eaton Storm.
They continued right where they left off allowing 0 runs after 2 innings after 4 innings the score was 8-2 to the Rebels.
Rebels had a string of hits by Freddy Henry, Jack James in the 3rd and 4th innings including a 2 run HR by Joe Coxon and a 3 run HR by Shan Henry..
After the 4th inning Jacob Henry took to the mound pitching 2 scoreless innings. However in the top of the 7th inning a slew of errors were made after getting the first batter out in the 7th errors allowed scorpions to get 3 runs across the plate.
After making a quick pitching change Rebels were still unable to shut it out and allowed 3 more runs to eventually come across the plate but luckily by then Jacob Henry had scored an extra run for the Rebels in the 5th inning after an RBI hit by Sebastian making the final score 9-8.
The decision was to play one more inning to give more players another inning of play and this allowed the Rebels batters to score 2 more runs due to over throws and a Freddy Henry line drive ground rule double and a gap hit single by Tina which was her first hit for the Rebels.
Nottingham Rebels are scheduled to travel to Hull on May 7th for a rematch where Hull will also be hosting a large family event to remember the late British Baseball Legend Barry Marshall.
