Games 3 & 4 (May 5th & 6th)

Despite two losses over the weekend, the boys had lots of positives to take from the games.

In Saturday's 5-1 loss to St. Patrick's, the boys found themselves with runners on 1st and 3rd, no one out in the bottom of the first inning. With the runner moving on the pitch, the batter hit a scorching line drive down the 3rd base line. Justin Lambott snared the line drive for out #1, threw to first baseman James Carroll to catch the runner for out #2 and James threw a perfect strike to catcher Christian Funfgeld who blocked the plate and applied the tag for out #3 - a TRIPLE PLAY!

Good pitching again by Chris Morgan, Suhail Zalia and Christian Funfgeld, making his 2007 debut.

The Coach Carroll "Player of the Game" goes to Justin, James and Christian for turning the triple play.

In Sunday's 17-1 loss to St Dom's, the boys were down quick, giving up 7 in the 1st and 8 in the 2nd. Elijah Rustin came on in the 3rd, making his 2007 pitching debut and was lights out for 2 innings striking out 7 batters (2 reached on a dropped 3rd strike). Good offensive performances from Elijah (who stole home), Joe Morrisey (2-2 with a double) and James Carroll (2-2 and hitting .571 on the year).

The Coach Carroll "Player of the Game" goes to Elijah Rustin, who pitched beautifully for 2 innings and scored the game's only run.
