St. Mo's was nineteen runs ahead of anyone in the league in runs scored going into last week. Derek came riding in on his white horse and fed them his assortment of fluff balls and corner strikes and the defense took care of the rest as the Coneheads won 9-4.
Right next to him was Freddi, our new youth movement, who promptly hit a three run home run his first time up. I have never seen someone deliberately put backspin on the ball like that and even though it was a line drive, it rose and rose until the left fielder just froze. Then he added a solo shot in his second at bat. His third time up, the left fielder was so deep that he slashed a line drive and the guy had no chance to hold him to one base.
I'm not gonna say he carried us but four of our nine RBIs? Our only extra bas hits? Welcome Freddi!
And welcome back Nick! He made a nice running catch in center field. Other defensive help for Derek included two DPs started by Raul, one was 6U-3 and one the traditional 6-4-3 with Ol' G as the pivot. G also made a nice snare of a line drive, and David deflected a hot corner hot shot to Raul who alertly fired to G for a force out in the sixth. And then to top it off D got a backward K to end the sixth.
