STU SOLOMON reports………

RANDY BROYLES, in only his second season pitching, had a wonderful pitching performance with

the help of wily veteran STEVE ZAWATZKY behind the plate……SOLOMON had the defensive play

of the game with an over the shoulder, back completely turned catch in short LCF…..the most critical

play (if you can have one in a 12-0 game) was turned in by rookie EVAN GILDENBLATT as he

stopped a sharply hit grounder to his left that prevented any chance of a potential rally…..On the

offensive side, rookie JACK ALBERS was 2-2 with his first home run of the season……
