The threatening skies brought out the best in both teams. The kids had two choices: Play a fast game, or risk the well being of their families. The mom's were pleased with their choice to play quickly when the 6th inning became a game of dodge the lightning bolts.. Nick Gavin, Matt Polsinello, and Kevin Watson combined to pitch a 2-hitter. Nick pitched 3 and a third with 8 K's. Matt pitched 1 and two thirds with 5 K's. Kevin closed the game in the 6th. We didn't hit the ball too much, but we got the most out of it. Russ Bird and Nick Gavin hit back to back homers.....well not quite, but they both hit the wall. Russ touched them all, but book coach (and father) George Bird gave him a triple when the relay was over thrown. Nick had a double. Skyler Centor and Brian Nasca had a single each. The boys showed good discipline at the plate with 9 walks to keep the pressure on.
