Pirates rally past Emps in new park debut
Reedley High centerfielder Ryan Warkentin broke toward his left to pursue a fly ball in the second inning of the Pirates' season opening game against Dinuba High on Feb. 11 at Reed- ley High. It was the first official ballgame in the school's newly remodeled baseball stadium. Construction in the last year included a new concrete grandstand featuring bench seating, bleachers and press box. In addition, the facili- ty features new dugouts and a new concession area. The Pirates jumped out to an early lead, gave up four runs in the third inning to the Emperors and then rallied to tie the game after three innings. Reedley broke it open in the late innings for a 12-5 victory. The Pirates return to non-league action on Thursday, Feb. 17, with a 6:30 p.m. varsity game against Hanford West .
