Despite the threat of rain, opening night started on time at Tully Field. Unfortunately, our always reliable pitching had a tough go, as we absorbed the loss to the LI Sound, 14-2.
Elijah Rustin opened the game with a scorching line drive into the left centerfield gap for a triple and scored on a single by Eric Stone. The 2nd run scored on heads up and aggressive base running by Emil Pape.
Defensively, Eric Stone made three excellent catches in centerfield, showing off his extraordinary range and threw out a runner at the plate. Shortstop Chris Morgan also cut down a runner at the plate, with catcher James DiMartino blocking the plate and applying the tag.
Game two was rained out.
The Coach Carroll Player of the Game goes to Eric Stone for his RBI single and excellent defensive play in both Centerfield and at Shortstop.
Next Game:
Sunday, 6/10: Indians vs. LI Owls; 1pm (2) @ St. Dominic's Field. Running and stretching will begin at 12:00pm. Please do not be late.
