4/8/2008 Twin Terra Roundup
Bayston Defeats Dorrin 11-4
Bayston played the role of party crasher in Dorrin today, winning handily 11-4. It was a 5-3 game going into the 7th when Jeronimo Rodriguez blew things open with a grand slam just over the right field wall. The slam may have been aided by an over-eager fan reaching over the wall to take home a souvenir from the Farmer's franchise opener. Tony Duke pitched well for the Black Sox, going 8.1 innings with 4 ER and 9 strikeouts.
Terra City Tops Mills 10-8, Split Series
The Mills must have used up their come-from-behind magic yesterday because there was no 9th inning rally to be found in their 10-8 loss to the Explorers. Terra City SS Shawn Allen could not be kept under control, batting 4-4 with 2 homers, a double, 3 RBIs and 4 runs. The starting pitchers combined for 13 IP, 15 ER, 19 hits, 7 walks and 10 K's.
Shippers Edge Vipers 6-5 in Extras
The Vipers may have lost their opener, but at least they provided an entertaining show for the fans. Wide Bay fell just short of East Versta, losing 6-5 in the tenth despite tying the game in the 9th. The would-be hero was Viper RF Montego Cardona, who hit a solo shot in the 9th to bring the crowd to their feet and gave the Vipers a second chance. It was not to be however, as the Shippers wasted no time in the top of the 10th, manufacturing the winning run with a sacrifice fly. East Versta and Wide Bay meet tomorrow to finish the short two-game set.
