We played a sub-par game and bounced back with a nice game vs. St. Lawrence today. We faced their ace in game one, and he kept the ball down -- a sidearm sinkerballer. We made several mistakes on the bases, but they were all aggressive mistakes. Unfortunately, it cost us. We lost 9-4, and a few runs early on would have made a difference.
Fortunately, we played well in Game 2, winning 12-3. We had out best at bats of the year and several extra-base hits. We have used six different lineups in six games, and we will likely continue that trend. Some guys are starting to fill some roles and be comfortable in what they are asked.
Josh Gascon gave us a shot in the arm with his solid start. We had an 11-1 lead into the fifth. He kept pounding the zone and gave up a couple more after the game was out of hand.
Today's Hammer went to Justin Burns. His double started a big ralley for us. His next at bat resulted in a triple. He finished with an RBI groundout. He has had little opportunity yet, but has been showing up to every day. Great to see him come through. He's got some great tools.
Today, we were also blessed with the presence of Tommy Dee. He'll be staying with the team the next four days. Word is, a couple more alums are on the way down. First thing Tommy brought up was the time Hoss dumped cocktail sauce all over his french fries during his senior meal and blamed Tommy for not looking out for him.
