First captain to report in again is ADAM CRONSTEIN……
TEAM CRONSTEIN defeated TEAM LEADER, 15-5, in a five inning affair….
Key plays by rookie JORY ZOLA, filling in at third base and MICAH KAMRASS in left field, led the defense, while on offense, the 8-9-10 spots in the order were big keys as rookie NEIL NADEL went 3 for 3….JARED KAMRESS went 2 for 3 and the “cagey” old-timer ANDY HELDMAN, who seems like he’s been playing forever, went 3 for 3…..
The victors led 7-1 thru four innings as MIKE GRAY was able to control the big bats of perhaps the two best hitters in the league, ANTON LOON and RANDY BROYLES, however in the top of the fifth inning, TEAM LEADER pulled within two runs at 7-5, but in the bottom half of the inning, TEAM CRONSTEIN exploded for eight runs to notch the ten run rule victory…….
QUOTES AFTER THE GAME…..
“This the type of game I think we have. We aren’t a major power hitting team, but we’re going to put a lot of guys on base and we should be able to score a lot of runs with consistent top to bottom hitting,” CRONSTEIN said.
OF NOTE……it was the pitching debut of RANDY BROYLES and the jury is still out if he can pitch at this level of play……
PLEASE NOTE…….ANYONE can add to the BLOG not just the captain so feel free to contribute……..
