Thanks to Mike “12
pitch minimum” Gaspar, we have an excellent recap of Sunday’s game. Sounds like it was a real barn burner!
It was another sunny, warm winter day at west
sunset. We started the game 8 on 9 and
by the third inning or so it was 10 on 10. Tony Rojas started for the home team. He had the
full arsenal working plus a changeup that Greg had taught
him during warm ups. Talk about a fast learner. Starting for the visitors was Will Rockwell.
The visitors grabbed an early 1-0 lead on and rbi
single by j.t. who had just gotten back from fantasy camp, and had plenty of tips to share. It
could have been 2-0 but will was cut down at home trying to score on a sac. fly (if you were
scoring at home it went 8 to 1 to 2).
Somewhere in middle innings the homers started to
flex their muscles and took a 5-1 lead. but the visitors scrapped back with a two spot. Tony
gave way to Johnny and the homer's bats really woke up to the tune of five runs and then added a few more along the way. Carter Rockwell came in to relieve his brother and managed
to slow the bleeding a bit.
Fast forward to the top of ninth. The visitors refused to go down without a
fight. Greg had come in for Johnny and
got the first two outs. Then yours truly
started the rally with a solid single. More
hits and some shoddy defense followed and the visitors had some life. Carter crushed one to deep center that just
nicked off of Tony’s glove and we thought we had a chance. but alas the rally fell short. but we were
glad we went down fighting.
Final score: 13-10
Highlights:
* J.t. had some nice
plays in right
* Loren hit a bomb to
right center
* Stoner had a triple
* Bob did not get
hit.
* But Will Erickson
did. Three times. Twice in one a.b.
