RHWS Results Thursday 11/13

We beat the Boston Braves, 13-5, in Thursday’s game which was rescheduled from the Sunday rainout. Zach Jones and Julian Blea combined to give up only 7 hits. 

Phil Montes got us on the board right away. He walked, stole second, moved to third on Angelo Crudale’s fly ball, and scored on a passed ball. We got three more in the first on walks to Bob Levine, Cy Rogers, and Rich Hinkle, a Tom Feasby hit by pitch, and singles by Mike Sasso and Panos Lagos.

The Braves got half way back with two runs on two walks and two hits off of Zach.

We answered with three in the top of the second. George Esposito got us started with a walk. Phil reached on an infield error. Angelo drilled a two-run double, and Denny Brown singled in Angelo.

We traded runs in the third. We scored on Mike Sasso’s walk and stolen base and Panos’ single. They answered with a leadoff single, a walk, and a botched double play that allowed the run.

We traded runs again in the fourth. Phil got us another “Phil run” on a walk, two stolen bases, and a wild pitch. They got a walk, stolen base, and base hit to score one. Two more walks loaded the bases, but Zach got out of the inning by getting a double-play ground ball to Angelo who stepped on third and got the batter at first.

Zach walked the first two batters in the 5th. Julian came in, gave up a hit to load the bases and then got a 1-2-3 double play. The next batter singled to center to score one run. We got the runner from second out at the plate on a crisp 8-6-2 relay. Hiro Tarumi to Denny to Cy.

Julian shut down the Braves in the 6th, 7th, and 8th. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the 7th with another inning ending 5-3 double play.

We added two insurance runs in each of the 7th and 8th innings. In the 7th, Angelo led off with a walk, Bob doubled, and Denny drove both in with a base hit. In the 8th, Tom doubled, Julian singled. Tom scored on George’s groundout, and Julian scored on Zach’s single up the middle.
