Team Four took a week off on defense but laid on the offense in defeating Team One, 26-17.
A double play took us out of our first inning rally and we came up with just one run. One soon was ahead 2-1, then 7-6, then 12-8, and it was the comeback trail once again for Four. We ended up scoring in every inning, at least three in every frame after the fourth.
There were a few great plays along the way. Randy Crase fired to Charlie Pastor to Steve Sloat to cut down Raul Delgado when he tried to stretch a shot down the left field line into a double in the first. Dave Rose threw to first to get a runner on a 'single' to right in the third, and the first baseman scooped the low throw. Later, Gary Namanny and Tim Orr made several good catches in the middle outfield.
The bottom four in the order scored 12 runs, once again proving that if the bottom hits, you win.
But the biggest hits came from the top. Al Munoz had a day: 5-5 and a key clutch three run bomb in the seventh with two outs. He had six RBIs altogether to lead the team. Steve Sloat recovered from a swing and miss to smash a two run homer in the fourth. Orr had a two out two run double in the fifth. Ray Aguilera (besides tossing key shutdown innings in the seventh and eighth) went 4-4 and had a run scoring triple in the sixth.
Kravin also had a perfect 4-4 day, setting up the top of the lineup for RBIs. Orr, Crase, Namanny, Sloat, and John Preston (who continues to rake and toss zeroes on the mound) had three hits.
Too bad - we have a bye next week and can't continue our hot streak!
