Thu, 5 July, 7:30PM, at Ronan Park
McKay Club Beacons 7, Somerville Alibrandis 1
It's tough to defeat Somerville. Only way is to hit well; play defensive ball and do not let them into or back into the game. Beacons did just that @ Ronan. Mike Barthell was his old nasty self. He pitched 7 innings gave up an unearned run and rolled grounder after grounder for his 1st win of '07.
Barthell was assisted by the hot stick of Rob Linn: 3 for 3 - 2 rus scored 2RBI and a smash for a 1st inning solo HR (#2 in '07). Dan Ciocca added a smash in the 1st for a 2 run HR. He leads the team w/15RBI. Ciocca was 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored and 3 RBI.
Poor defence has plagued the Beacons all year. BUT - they pulled off 4 tremendous double plays to assist their pitcher. Good win against the best team in the YBL! |
