Wed, 8 July, 7:30PM, at Rogers Park
Brighton Braves 15, McKay Club Beacons 10
The difference on the night was the 3rd. Braves sent 14 batters to the plate & scored 9. DeFusco, Tracy, Uberti each had 2-run singles, Joyce an RBI single, Smith added a bases-loaded BB & another on a throwing error.
Beacons battled back all night & made it interesting in the 7th. With bases loaded, no outs they scored 1 on a walk & another on a Sac Fly. Still with runners on first and second, 1 out & the Braves pitching staff struggling, Vasquez connected on a sharp liner to shallow left. YBL vet Ted Tracy, who robbed Jack Owens of 2 hits earlier in the game, made a running catch. The Beacon runner on second strayed a little too far from second & was thrown out on the force to end the game (Tracy's 3rd outfield assist on the night - all to end an inning).
The Braves Robb (3-4, 2 R, RBI, BB) and Joyce (2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 HbP) continue their hot streaks. McKay's Danielson went 3-3, 2B, 3 RBI, BB. Coffey and Vilmont each had 2 RBI. |
