Kents vs. Bay City

Silas K. Pierce Cup
2007 – Grand
Rapids, MI
Kents 14, Bay City 4
The final
match of the day would place the Bay Citys against
the Kents, a formidable opponent and one that the
Independents have never found success against. That
success would elude them again on this day, as the
Kents tallied six runs before the Independents could
score any.
Having been placed squarely in a whole the Bay Citys attempted to mount a challenge but in 5 innings they could only muster 3 runs against the gentlemen from Grand Rapids. In the meantime the striking of the Kents and the pounding of the mid-day sun would help to melt the Bay City defense and they would see the Kents score 8 more times before the contest came to a merciful end.
For their part the Bay Citys would tally only once more behind Mr. McInerney, and never found their footing after a long delay between matches. The final score would stand at 14-4, but the Bay Citys would find themselves Champions of the State of Michigan again thanks to their fine play earlier in the day. Perhaps someday they will find the Achille’s heel of the Kents, but for now they will have to take their medicine and like it.
