Rookies Earn First Road Win in Thorndale
The Mitchell Stickhandler Tier 1 Major Rookie Astros travelled to Thorndale on May 19 for an exhibition game vs the DMBA Black Sox, returning home with a 19-5 victory.
The visitors opened the scoring right away in the top of the first with back-to-back RBI doubles by Jordan Visneskie and Kellen Russwurm.
Carson Harmer, Jack Miller, Joel Meinen, and Russwurm each reached base safely during all at-bats, with Harmer and Miller each scoring four times. Darius Ladd and Ben Medhurst each chipped in with two doubles, a single, and three runs scored, and Dominic Marshall also added two doubles.
A key flyball out was recorded by Meinen to end the third inning with two runners on, and infield defense was steady all game with many groundball outs.
