Rookies Notch Third Win Of The Week
The Mitchell Stickhandler Tier 1 Major Rookie Astros played their third game of the week on June 1st, defeating visiting Clinton Mustangs Black by a score of 21-7.
The Mustangs jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, but the locals bounced back in the bottom of the first and took the lead 4-3 on Jordan Visneskie's 2-run double. Clinton would tie it up again in the top of the second, but the locals answered back once again with another four runs, with Kellen Russwurm's 2-run double driving in the eventual winning run.
Visneskie led the attack going 4-for-4 with three doubles and 5 RBI's, and Carson Harmer, Dominic Marshall, Jack Miller, Joel Meinen, Charlie Geiger, and Russwurm all reached base safely in every at-bat. Harmer, Marshall, and Miller led all scorers by each crossing the plate four times.
Ben Medhurst drove in 4 runs with a pair of doubles late in the game as insurance, including a base-clearing effort in the bottom of the 4th.
