Blissfield’s varsity baseball team returned to the field in a scrimmage Saturday at Delta, Ohio.
The teams played nine innings to try to get several pitchers into the game. Blissfield scored 16 runs on 10 hits and 9 Delta errors. Delta scored three runs on nine hits and one Blissfield error.
“We have an early season scrimmage to find out what we have to work on. The nice thing about this group is that we have a lot of experience back. Working on it is just a matter of refreshing our memories,” said coach Larry Tuttle, who has guided the team to seven state titles and more than 1,000 victories in more than 40 years as skipper.
