Savin Hill Dodgers 5, Brighton Braves 4
The SHDodgers win their inaugural tilt of the 2014 season in very interesting fashion. After a 15-minute delay (lights), Los Bravos capitalize on a throwing error to take a 1-0 lead, later adding a pair in the 4th and 1 in the 7th. Mike Smith was stellar, striking out 8 Dodgers in the first 3 innings, going 6 shutout with 11 ks.
For the Dodgers, The Big Canuck (Huber) went 6 yielding 3 runs (2 ER) and keeping his team in the game. Then it got weird. The lights went out at 10:00 on the nose, and caused another 20-minute delay in the top of the 7th. Chazz Conroy lets up 1 run going into the last frame.
With Smitty done for the night, the delay clearly took a toll as the Braves pitching couldn't get back in groove with a series of walks and an HBP, letting the Dodgers push 5 across for the win.
Greeley takes the tough luck loss, Conroy vultures a win, Jamula with the GW rbi. |
