Friday ended up washed out, but we got in a pair of games Saturday with each pitcher on the staff tossing three innings. To work on some situations, we spotted runners at either 1st, 2nd or 3rd, and if they scored, they counted double.
We saw some solid at bats. Dillon Lowe and Brian Sheehan had big days at the plate. Lowe went 3-3 in Game 1 with a pair of doubles and two walks. He scored from second on an infield hit for the walkoff win. Sheehan finished the day 4-6 with an extra-base hit, two sac bunts and a few more well-hit balls. A little extra work in the cage earlier in the week paid off for both.
After a controversial Hammer last week, Big Cat Lawrence left no doubt going 4-8 with a pair of doubles. He also turned in a diving catch in foul territory and gunned down Energy Giver Dan Fetes as Dan tried to tag up and take third base. Great play.
This week's hitter's Hammer went to John Bennett for dropping his first homer on Saturday and adding a double earlier in the week. He's had a strong fall all around. He gave a great speech. He's been one of the steadiest players so far.
The pitcher's Hammer went to Zach Jordan. The big hoss keeps on pounding the zone, and once again walked no one on Saturday. He was speechless upon receiving his first Hammer, but pitched like a man!
Zach Hugg continues a strong showing on the mound. He's still at 0 walks for the fall. He had a 3-1 count on his last batter, but managed to induce a pop up. For the week, we had 15 walks in 50 innings as a staff -- still some room for improvement.
One more week of fall ball left to go.
