Fan appreciation night last Friday night was a disappointment on some levels due to the weather.  The General Manager thought it would be a good decision to allow the fans the chance to come out for tonight's game to enjoy some of the benefits that they didn't get to enjoy last game. Thus Fan Appreciation Night: Part Deux was born.  Unfortunately, the beautiful spring weather from earlier in the day turned into a downpour as the game began forcing the droves of fans to their cars to seek cover.

The game started with a bang in the first inning as the Reformers jumped to a quick 5-0 lead and did not look back as they won the game 11-1 to finish their season with a 6-3 record.  "This was the most successful season in CGBC history and I was happy to be witness to their success" said Amber Mathis.  Aaron Cline hit his team leading and single season record eighth home run in the second inning and cemented his place as front runner for the team MVP award.  John Michael Gibson also hit a home run.

Ben Bosworth (3-0), making his third start, pitched a masterful game and allowed a season low one run to end the season on a high note.  Bosworth scattered five hits and was 1-2 at the plate to help his team on both sides of the plate.  Clearview Baptist was never able to get anything going against the powerful righty and the rain was a huge help as well.  The outfield was able to keep their footing and make most of the pop up plays in the outfield.  Eiji Fujino played well in right center.

The season comes to an end and the Reformers say goodbye to some of their beloved players.  The softball team will say goodbye to Benji Hutson, Aaron Cline, John Michael Gibson, Zack Blount, and Rachel Blount.  The Basketball team says goodbye to Jon Goforth, Hutson, Cline, and Blount.  They also want to congratulate them as they are graduating from North Greenville University on Thursday and moving on to the next chapter in their lives.  Hutson and Cline are headed to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, while Goforth is headed to Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.  "We wish them well and will be praying for them as they depart.  We love them and will miss them greatly" said GM Randy Pifer.
