Mitchell goes the distance but the Bees fall to Niles North
Both teams were strong on the mound Wednesday night but the Bees were unable to plate any runs and fell to the Niles North Vikings. Andrew Mitchell went the distance throwing a complete game on 75 pitches and striking out two. Mitchell also went 2-3 at the plate. The Bees played solid defense across the board. Jaxon Zaugra and Mikey Gonzalez threw out runners attempting to score at the plate while Rafael Villalobos made a leaping grab at short. The Zee-Bees return to action on Saturday, playing a double header against the Wheeling Wildcats.
