Charleston Fighting Squirrels updates

Posted Friday, August 2, 2013, at 9:39 AM

The Charleston Fighting Squirrels are participating in the Babe Ruth Midwest Plains Regional this weekend.

Chris Pobst started a thread in the forums here to provide occasional updates throughout the Squirrels' games.

If you'd like to follow the games more closely, the tournament is providing GameChanger live coverage of each game, which you can access at this link.

As a heads up the GameChanger stats from the Squirrels win on Thursday list Ryan Fortner as the winning pitcher, so he's among the pitching leaders on the leaderboards -- but it was actually Trey Tigart who pitched for the Squirrels. Fortner did have a homer and six RBIs in the Squirrels 9-1 win, though. You can read a full recap of the game from Chris here.
