Can't Put it Together...
Hamilton West 6, TR South 4
The Indians were handed their first defeat of the 2005 preseason, but it may have come at their own hands. A sloppy first three innings led to a 6-1 deficit which they could not overcome. South also seemed a step slow on the basepaths as baserunning outs, including a couple at homeplate, kept the Indians from narrowing the lead even more.
Seniors Zack DelVento and Ryan MacPherson suffered much of the damage on the mound. However, they were plagued by a defense that did not make plays for them.
South had a chance to tie it in the bottom of the seventh when the Indians got runners on first and second. With two outs, #3 hitter Evan Bigler came up and smoked a line drive to the left-center field gap. The Hamilton West leftfielder made a diving stab saving an extra base hit and potentially the two tying runs.
South is scheduled to host Rumson on Monday, weather permitting, in its final scrimmage of the year.
In alumni news, Rutgers sophomore Steve Holt picked up his second career win taking a no-hitter against University of Pittsburgh into the 7th inning. (see scarletknights.com for the details). Also, Joe Adelizzi, a member of the McDaniel College team, was at our game as well. As usual, it was good to see "HoJo"
