 Black
Sox,
Congratulations on a big win over
the much-improved Titans. We have now won five of our
last six games to improve our record to 7-5.
Highlights
We won the game with good pitching
and hitting and some good baseball fundamentals –
a couple excellent sacrifice bunts and aggressive base
running to capitalize on Rebel mistakes. Individual
highlights:
• Lance –
Pitched 9 strong innings to get the win vs. a good-hitting
team. Recorded 10 K’s. Bad luck and a couple errors
kept the game close. Lance helped himself with an excellent
sac bunt to setup our final run.
• Pedro –
strong day at the plate: 3 for 5.
• Nestor –
2 for 5.
• Steve –
hit a single, double, and triple. His bid for the cycle
was dashed when the left fielder caught his line drive
to left a mere 60 feet from the fence.
• Dan –
2 for 4.
• Mike –
2 for 4. Mike also managed to play six different positions
over the course of the game.
• Rickey –
a special thanks to Rickey for bringing fans (his family)
and keeping book on a day he had to take off to recover
from a knee injury. I know it killed him to not be on
the field, but it was great to have Rickey in the dugout.
Next Week’s Game
Next weeks game is against the SD
A’s, another team which has improved since we
beat them 8-6 in the second game of the season. Yesterday,
the A’s upset the Saturn Ions 10-6 to even their
record at 6-6. Game time is 9 am at Mar Vista. This
is a team that has come on strong after a bad start.
We will need to play well to get a win.
I know Jim M. will likely miss the
game. If anyone else will be out please let me know
ASAP.
July 4 Tourney
There are still some roster spots
for the July 4 Tournament. Cost is $85 for 3 to 5 games.
Let me know ASAP if you are interested.
All-Star Game
Based on our fifth place position
in the standings, we get to send two players to the
all-star game Wednesday 6:30 pm at Poway High. Congratulations
to Jim Wetzel and Nestor Rosas, our representatives
for 2003. Also congratulations to alternate Steve Pietruza.
