Opole 2, Sobieski 0
Sobieski, MN - 6/1/2008

Jake Eichten pitched a five hit shutout for Opole and Nick Bialka hit a 2-run homer in the first inning as the Bears blanked Sobieski 2-0 Sunday.  Eichten struck out five and kept the ball low in the zone, allowing him to get fifteen ground ball outs.  Eichten was supported by outstanding defense, most notably in the sixth inning when Sobieski had runners at first and second with two outs.  Nate Olson hit what appeared to be a game-tying extra base hit to the left center field gap when John Pilarski made a head first diving catch for the third out and preserve the shutout for Opole.  Simon Waltman went the distance for the Ski's, striking out six, but the Bialka homer in the first was enough to do him, and Sobieski, in.
