This was going to be the week the Raiders broke through our season long slump to get that elusive first win. And for a few innings, it looked that way. We took leads of 5-0, 10-3, and 14-9, but gave up twelve runs in the last three innings, and lost a heartbreaker to the Cardinals on a 21-20 walk-off.
There were plenty of good performances however. Gidget Blaquera went 3-3+BB+SF for a team leading five RBIs. The Davids that played did well: Gerds, 4-4-4+BB, 2B, HR, Gratz, 4-5, four RBIs, and Balfour, 4-4+BB, 3B. Jay Sankey, Cary Mitsuyoshi, Ray Oducayen, and Patrick Kiesling chipped in three hits apiece. Don Devencenzi made a great stab on a grounder for a 4-3 putout in the fifth, and Mitsuyoshi threw out a runner at home from the deep rover position for the final out in the sixth.
One of these days (Alice), we're going to get that win!
