The Chiefs got started early, scoring 3 runs off Selects starter Travis Dauvin in the top of the first. Their three big offensive weapons of the game did the damage as Terrell Walker hit a single, Denis Iron a double and Christian Bear wrapped up the scoring in the inning with another single. The Selects never recovered as hits were hard to come by of Chiefs ace Dustin Keshane. The Selects managed to score one run off Steven Kessler’s home run in the second, but the Chiefs matched that with an RBI single by Terrell Walker in the fourth to chase Dauvin. Keshane allowed just 3 base runners following Kessler’s blast, while recording 11 more K’s to end with a total of 12.
