The MBC 13's won their second game in a row in dramatic fashion. It was an exciting walk off win against the PBC Rockies, 3-2. Again the recipe was good pitching, solid defense and tonight they used a little more offense.
Landon Fletcher pitched three solid inning and tired slightly in the fourth. Walking two players to lead off the fourth he needed help from Daniel Hunt to get out of a jamb. Daniel pitched well and carried the team into the seventh with a chance to win. Guthrie Morrison closed the game out with a perfect seventh.
Offensively MBC got on the board early after Cole Burcham lead off the second inning with a walk. A hit by Landon Fletcher took him to third and he scored on a ground ball by Thomas Carey.
The Rockies tied the game after one of the lead off walks came around to score, also on an infield ground out, and a close play at the plate.
In the fifth Thomas Carey lead off with a solid single, stole second and third and scored on his brother Joseph's ground ball.
The Rockies tied the game in the sixth, scoring while MBC picked a runner off first.
In the bottom of the seventh Jackson Hirch boomed a one out single to left and stole second and third as the Rockies recorded the second out of the inning. Joseph Carey immediately went 0-2, but rallied to foul off pitches and work a walk bring pesky Guthrie Morrison to the plate. As the crowd held their breath, Guthrie laced a single to right to bring Jackson home with the winning run.
You couldn't ask for a better night weather wise. And you could ask for a better time to have a better game. A large crowd was on hand to see the game, even Coach Cougan's lovely mother in law Sally Santuci. Coach Cougan's beautiful wife arrived just in time to see the walk-off hit accompanied by two French media correspondents.
Last of all, ESPN had sent out one of their top baseball experts to cover the game. Coach Cougan stayed up until the wee hours and finally saw the segment on our game at 3:30 am on ESPN 15; you have to pay extra for that channel.
