Homers: Greg, Bob, Tony, Nick, Sonny, Brian, Mitch, Sean, Abe, [missing 1 player]
Visitors: Carter, Randy, Chris Powell, James, John McGrath, Mike [missing 4 players, somehow]
The
stories of the game were Carter on the mound, and the visitors' bats
running wild. Carter started for the visitors and threw a no hitter
thru 7 (with only two errors) before giving up back to back base hits to
Sean and Abe and then getting out of the inning without giving up any
runs. I believe the final line was Carter pitching 7+ (8?) scoreless
innings and facing 2 over the minimum. Powell then came in and closed
it out. I don't believe the homers scored.
Greg
started for the homers and from the first inning gave up hit after
solid hit. Both Sean and Tony pitched in relief but the visitors were
hitting solid liners and long fly balls off them too. A couple errors
in the field didn't help matters. With Carter blanking the home team
things were quickly lopsided (8-0 or thereabouts) by the third or fourth
inning and it stayed that way.
Aside from the crushing offense and pitching of the visitors, a number of good defensive plays were made on both sides, including:
- John snagged a line drive hit above his head while over at first base.
- Chris dove to his left at short and caught a very hard hit line drive.
- Sean pulled a Willie Mays while playing first, on a ball popped up down the first base line.
- Abe made a sliding catch ranging to his left in center.
Final Score: 10-0 or thereabouts, which doesn't seem that bad, but it was an absolute thrashing by Mission Baseball standards.
