Saturday's
Tournament Win was pretty sweet!
A couple of late
come-from-behind wins made it
sweeter. We all hit, I think
almost everyone was over .500
for the tourney and we also drew
walks when they were needed. Our
speed was also huge as we forced
errors and ran on everyone,
except when we ran ourselves out
of innings (Fesko!!!!). Our
outfield outplayed the
competition hands down, and
teams will now think twice about
running on Axxess's LC! We will
have everyone's stats posted on
our future website shortly.
This week's tourney MVP has to
go to Ken Wilder. Other than
holding it down at SS with
absolute missiles hit at him on
small infields and catching
Fesko's 100MPH relay throws, he
went 16 for 23 with a walk. With
an OBP of .708 at the bottom of
the order, Ken was BIG, safely
flipping the order 7 out of
every 10 at bats. Not to mention
how many times he did it with 2
outs. Ken also hit a Big Grand
slam to help erase a 12 run
deficit late in the Longview
game.
Honorable mention goes to his
brother Dave, who had a shitload
of hits, one game with 4 walks
(in 4 straight plate
appearances), and pitched all 5
games perfectly. Dave may have
drawn more walks himself than he
gave up to our opponents! Dave
also pitched the last 3 games
with a busted and bleeding pinky
finger, caused by fielding a
seed up the middle, which earned
him the first Purple Heart
award.
