Wednesday Cuernavaca - Week 3 - Highlights

Cuernavaca Field 1 6PM

Punani Patrol (Neon Pink) VS. Put it in the Bunt (Neon Yellow):

Well folks we are in week 3 and almost half way through the season and teams are starting to shape up and show their true colors. For our 1^st game of the night we had 2 veteran teams in a head to head battle and it was a real close game. It was a close game through the first inning and a half until Jeff Cornetet the Team Captain of the Patrol came up to bat and blasted a 3 run Homer in the bottom of the second to take the lead 6-2. In the top of the third the Patrol held Bunt scoreless and when they came back up to bat Jeff did it again with a 2 run triple to extend the lead 9-3. In the top of the 4^th Bunt was able to bring in another run and the Patrol matched them in the bottom of the inning and made the score 10-3. It looked all but lost for the Bunt but they were able to hold the Patrol to just 1 run in their last 3 at bats and in the top of the 6^th Bunt made a valiant run at the Patrol by scoring another 5 runs to come within 2, but ultimately, Bunt came up short and Punani was victorious. Punani Patrol Wins 10-8.

Cuernavaca Field 2 6PM

Isotopes (Maroon) VS. Kickin Uglies (Sapphire Blue):

Our second game of the night was 2 new teams to our camp and they seem to be adjusting nicely. Both teams came out hot and in the top of the first Team Captain for Isotopes started us off with a Homer and then Greg Verzosa followed suite with a 3 run homer of his own to extend the lead 5-0. In the bottom of the inning Kickin’s Team Captain Joe Wykowski answered back with a RBI double and then team mate Cory Bassing followed suite with a 2 RBI single to keep the game close. Top of 2 Isotopes scored another 2 runs and then held off Kickin in the bottom and ended the inning 7-3. In the top of the 3^rd the Isotopes once again extended their lead and this time it was Colleen McGrath who had a SAC fly and Patrick Obryan who kicked a 2 run homer. In the top of the 4^th Kickin held the Isotopes to just 1 run and it was from Cameron Cox who kicked a single but just kept running and with 3 overthrows ran himself all the way home. The next runs came in the 6^th from Greg Verzosa again for Isotopes who had a 2 RBI double for the only scores of the inning. With some amazing “D” the Isotopes held Kickin to the only 3 runs they had in the first and were just a little too much for the Kickin to handle today. Isotopes Wins 19-3.

Cuernavaca Field 3 6PM

Step Parents (Royal Blue) VS. No Rubber Lovers (Tropical Blue):

Our final game of the night was a fun filled RBI game and a couple other run sprinkled in. The Parents started us off with some nice action and it was Nathaniel Perkowski who struck first with a 2 RBI double to left field. Tommy Welsh continued the scoring for the Parents with a SAC fly RBI to right field. The scoring wasn’t done yet for the Parents and Melisa McCullough was in the mix with a RBI single to finish out the runs for the top of the first. The bottom of the 1^st gave the Lovers a chance to answer back and that’s just what they did when Tyler Williams put their first on the board with a solo homer to center. In the 2^nd we went for more RBI and the first came from the Parent’s Sarah Satrom in the top of the inning and the second came from the Rubber’s Stephen Knight in the bottom of the inning. Nathaniel Perkowski was back at it again in the top of the 3^rd and who is “shocked” that it was another RBI in this game actually it was a “2for” to be exact and would have been a 3 run homer if he wasn’t thrown out at home at the last second. Top of the 4^th can anyone guess what happened, yep you got it another RBI and this one was Melissa McCullough’s second of the night to extend their lead 9-2. We saw some more fireworks from the Parents in the 6^th and it started off with something other than a RBI, it was a Grand Slam from none other than Mr. RBI Nathaniel Perkowski. We would also like to give a shout out to Dominique Hubert who has the fastest legs on the field and not only stole home in the top of the inning but also had an amazing catch in the outfield running virtually the whole out field to barely get there in time in the bottom of the inning. Coming into the 7^th the Lovers were down 14-2 and needed some magic to happen to pull this off. First they held the Parent’s scoreless in the top of the inning which was a good start and then in the bottom of the inning they started the scoring run. The first run came from Trey Fisher who had RBI and then Keith Vales had a 2 RBI single and things were looking hopeful. But the Parents weren’t going to let them win and held the Lovers to just the 3 runs. Step Parents Wins 14-5.
