The Batesville Bats 16 & Under baseball team played well in a weekend tournament at Ball State, narrowly losing the championship game to the Hitmen of Mattoon, Illinois on a walk-off base hit, the final 10-9.  Zayden Miller led the Bats with a .500 batting average and .750 slugging percentage, while Cayden Drake averaged .364 at the plate and .455 slugging.  Drake was also the Bats’ top pitcher, throwing 10 1/3 innings over 2 games, for a win and a save.  The 8, 5 & 2 Bats will play in another tournament this weekend at Wright State in Dayton, Ohio.
