TEAM LEFTON had some errors in the field, but overcame that with some huge defensive plays which included JEFF FINKELSTEIN playing a solid SS and starting a double play with the bases loaded…..
” I may be up in years, but I can still hold my own out there at SS. My parents were there in the stands and I wanted to show them that I still had it, ” he said afterwards…..
…..BRAD GALLUP made up for an earlier miscue by making a brilliant play in backing up a bad throw into RF and gunned a would be run out at the plate……
“I guess the word hasn’t made the rounds about my arm. When will they learn not to run on me,” he said later……
COREY NORRIS came up with a bare handed play to nip a runner at 1B and ended a threat in the top of the 7th inning when he fielded a ground ball, stepped on 3B for one out and fired to 1B to complete a game ending double play…..
“I’m becoming more comfortable at 3B. I’m no Mike Schmidt (youngsters….google him), but I just want to contribute any way I can, ” the Boston native said………
JIMMY LEFTON pitched one of his better games and came up with two huge hits to help the cause…….”Being the captain, I knew I had to come thru and I think I did,” he said after the game….
PLEASE NOTE…..MOST OF THE GAME RECAPS WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEKEND DUE TO ME BEING OUT OF TOWN….(unless someone else wants to do it)….
