The streak continues, for the A's that is, and our own Brian "Sinister Side" Phelps was there to record the action for the MBC. We are now 0-3 in 2019 SQ play. Maybe next game is the one....
The San Quentin A’s secured their 20th victory of the season in a
great game vs the Mission Baseball Club. The team met in the parking lot
8 strong with an outsider umpire that was training the inside blue
crew.
MBC got out to a quick start with 3 runs in the first with Kool-Aid on the bump for SQ.
But the SQ walls couldn’t contain the A’s and with 3 homers they took the lead 6-3 and held strong.
Highlights (please add if you remember more details)
• MBC pitchers of record were Sean, Mike N, and Phelps.
• Great play in which an error turned thrown out runner at home. Greg made a perfect throw from 1B to Don at catcher
•
We played all around great defense especially, from our borrowed RF,
Angelo who made a great catch near the tables in triples alley. And
threw a runner out from LF to 1B.
• Someone on MBC almost got thrown out at 1B from CF.
• Don caught and didn’t let them run all over us
• The pitchers from both teams made a bunch of plays
•
The outfield is in terrible condition and made any play an adventure
(word is they are trying to secure funding for a turf field)
• The umpire consultant had some interesting conversations with catchers and batters, such as "nice take… STRIKE!”
