The Rebels came to play today, needing to win one game to qualify for the NJBL playoffs the boys won both.
The first game was highlighted by another great pitching performance by Michael Proios going 1 batter short of a complete game shutout. The game also saw 2 perfectly executed double plays (6-4-3) & (6-6-3), the defense was absolutely flawless.
With the tying run at the plate, Nicky V wasn’t letting his buddy Michael down and struck out the last batter of the game.
The second game put Brian P on the mound who did a good job keeping the Rebels in the game, although the boys feel behind early 3-1, some key hits by Alec Acri, Billy McAdam & Kevin Weber the boys would fight back to a 3-3 tie.
The top of the 5th saw the Rebels do there thing with great base running, included was Alec Acri’s steal of home when the pitcher dropped the ball on a throw back (proving its more about timing than speed).
Great time for the team to be peeking, lets have some fun this week, you deserve it.
