Savin Hill Dodgers 8, Brighton Black Sox 2
The Dodgers defeat the Black Sox 8-2, a score that belies how close this game was.
The Black Sox knot it at 2 in the 4th, piling up 4 of their 6 hits in a row, highlighted by a Cam Owens bomb RBI triple.
A pitching duel most of the way, Bartolo Michienzi goes 4 strong (2ER), matched by Rooney who throws 5 crafty innings before the Dodger bats woke up with 5 hits in the 6th, capped off by a 3R-HR blast halfway to Westeros by Nate Hodor (2/3,HR,4RBI), now the first catcher to snipe a Black Sox base stealer in 2014.
Rookie Hunter (what the hell am I supposed to nickname someone named 'Hunter'?) Shea makes his YBL debut throwing 2 hitless innings in relief and earning the win.
Jay Shatto takes home the inaugural "Matchbox MVP" Award, going 4/4 with 3rbi, 2r and 1sb.
