MEMORIAL DAY
ROHRER’S NAILS BOYER’S 7-1
Memorial Day, 2013
“No team ever looked more intense
than they did. Getting on the field with them was akin to stepping into a
wading pool with jaws.”
Red Sox pitcher Bill
Lee on the Yankees after their record 14 ½ game come back in 1978
Rohrer’s snatch victory
in a thrilling climax after pep talk by Manager Grace to the club.
It was a perfect day for baseball
with blue skies and warm temperatures. Memorial Day found the boys of the Rohrer’s
ballclub tipping the scale and beating the Boyer’s club in a fine exhibition of
baseball.
In the top of the first, Blake Lipko
started the club off and went down swinging against the Boyers fast left hander,
Kaleb Sophy. Next up was Dylan Biever who got the club rolling with a hard hit
triple. Slugger Brent Kaunas walked at his turn and big Nate Dixon got fanned
and looked like he wanted to break his bat.
Left hander Dylan Biever took the
mound for the Rohrer’s club. After getting his wing in throwing order, he let go
a single, walked a batter, then a short hopper to first baseman Nate Dixon,
followed by another walk and two strike outs to end the inning.
Top of the second saw Dylan Grace
ground out. T.J. Schappell strike out. J. T. Fulkrod walked and Kyle Bainbridge
ground out.
Dylan, still on the mound, kept the
game very close as the first batter up grounds out, then strikes out the next
batter. He walks the third batter and the next hitter pops one up and it is
caught by second baseman J.T. Fulkrod for the out which ends the inning.
In the third, Troy Oswald stepped
into the batter`s box and went down swinging. Back to the top of the order as
Blake hits to center field for a single. Dylan Biever walked. Brent Kaunas got
a hard hit 2 run double getting the club moving on its time at bat. Nate blasts a low flying single for another
RBI. Dylan Grace strikes out.
In the bottom of the third, Dylan gives up a
single. Next batter hits one right toward Brent Kaunas at short stop who
catches the ball and throws to third for another out .This play got the fans
applauding. The last batter up strikes out.
With Rohrer`s turn at bat J.T. Fulkrod
strikes out. Kyle Bainbridge tears the cover off the ball with a great hit to
deep center for a single. Troy strikes out. With the return to the top of the
order, Blake Lipko gets walked. Dylan strikes out.
In the bottom of the fourth, Manager Grace has
a pitching change and brings in the fast right hander, Brent Kaunas. Brent’s
first pitch is a high pop up to J.T. Fulkrod who makes a fine catch for the
out. Brent strikes out the next batter for the out.
Manager Grace called the club together
outside the dugout and told the boys, “Guys, stay up now! You got to go out and
take it from them, not just hanging in there. Take it from them!” With a look
of determination, grit and resolve, the club went to the bat with an enthusiasm
this writer hasn`t seen lately.
Inspired by Manager Grace`s words, Brent
blasted a hit to deep center for a standup double. Nate Dixon followed and
banged out a line drive for a single, scoring Brent. Dylan Grace blasted
another single. Andrew Phillips goes down swinging with J.T Fulkrod taking
first on a catcher dropped ball and on an over throw takes second. Kyle Bainbridge gets an RBI single bringing
home J.T.
Score : 6-1 Rohrer’s.
Brent, in fine pitcher form as usual, lets a single get out.
Pausing and staring down the next batter, Brent strikes him out. The next
batter goes down in three as does the fourth batter.
1, 2, 3, Nice pitching from the right
hander!
Troy at bat strikes out in the top of the 6th
while Blake nails a double. Dylan Biever gets a sacrifice fly to score Blake.
Brent pops out to short right.
Brent, on the mound, finishes the game
with a ground out to first and two strike outs giving the game to Rohrer’s 7-1
on this beautiful Memorial Day.
This game was a thrilling ace for the
cranks of the Rohrer’s club as the boys moved to first place in the second
half.
The afternoon contest, much more
exciting and full of loose play, great pitching and free hitting ended in
triumph for the Rohrer’s ball club. It was different to see our boys play a
full six innings, after the last few games of just four.
Now, let`s see what the boys can do
as we approach the end of the season. See you at the next game, cranks !
