Bats 19 - Red Wings 14

5/21

It was a cold, rainy and windy night at Beacon, and the weather really took a toll on the pitchers, as the two teams

sent a combined ten players to the mound during this four-inning ballgame. Offensive highlights for the Bats include

screaming shots off the bats of Paul Colombo, Jared Jordan, Ryan Taylor and Dorian Royster.

Royster's shot was a long, solo homerun that saw him rounding third by the time the centerfielder tracked it down.

Kel Chervin, Emily Jaminet, Michaela Bowman, Christian Preston and Rose Cyburt played a strong game for the Red Wings,

leading the last-inning, ten-run comeback!

My Cal Ripken, Jr. "Iron Man" Award of the night goes to Nick Zoia, who took a batted ball to the head and got hit by a pitch,

but stayed in the game and continued to play great. You are one tough ballplayer, Nick!
