AL Game 39

VantagePoint     9

Pazulski Carpet and Tile     8
 

In a very well played baseball game by both teams, Vantage Point edged Pazulski 9-8 in a 5 inning contest.

Vantage Point entered the bottom of the 5th down 8-4. After a walk to Blake Martin and a pass ball Leo Burman laced a rbi single to Center cutting the lead to 3.

Following a force out, Malcolm Williams had an infield rbi single and Kadin Barr an rbi single to center, and then Ryan Tolentino laced a one hop ground rule double to left scoring another run. The Pazulski lead was now 1 with Tolentino and Barr on second and third. This set the table for 6 hitter Garret Brunner who on the first pitch he saw lined a double over the extended arms of short stop Andrew Pak. Tolentino (puma) raced home from second and the game was over!! Brunner was mobbed by the VP team in celebration.

Jake Dougherty threw 4 innings of 3 hit baseball and allowed only 2 runs for the win. Brian Gunn earned the win in relief.

Joey Schaffer had 2 rbi's and a clutch base hit for VP and also had an outstanding catch in right field.

Pazulski got great pitching from Andrew Pak and outstanding defense from many other team members but the day belonged to Garrett Brunner who stole the show with his two out clutch 2 run rip.
