Whitewright fails Reaganomics
Reaganomics was made popular in the 1980s when President Ronald Reagan put forth his trickle down tax program Peyton Reagan, Howe's pitcher, put together his trickle-down plan that was much more effective and allowed him to pitch a complete game at home on Tuesday night against Whitewright in a 6-3 Howe (15-7) win
Reagan gave up three early unearned runs in the first inning, but Howe cut the lead with a run of their own in bottom of the first when Matt Griffin singled home Brennan Ross Howe tied the game in the second thanks to a dropped-third-strike score by Tanner Hartsfield and a fielder's choice groundout by Ross that scored Grisham
