Rookie Offense Explodes in Win Over St Marys
In a battle of the two undefeated teams in the WOBA league on July 26th, the Mitchell Stickhandler Tier 1 Major Rookie Astros defeated the visiting St Marys OBA Majors by a score of 31-6.
The Astros set the tone for the game immediately in the first inning, shutting down the St Marys bats in the top half after giving up a couple of base hits.  The high-octane offense went to work immediately, establishing a 10-0 lead after two innings of play.

Ben Medhurst continued his recent hot streak at the plate, going 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and driving in a total of eight runs.  Ryan Hubbard and Carson Harmer each hammered RBI triples, and extra-base hits were also recorded by Kellen Russwurm, Hayden Nicholson, and Charlie Geiger.  Four runs each were scored by Harmer, Geiger, Dominic Marshall, Jordan Visneskie, and Jack Miller.
Visneskie made several key outs at third base, and Nicholson saved a couple of runs with a spectacular running catch in right field.
The locals will close out the regular season at Listowel on July 28th, and then prepare for the WOBA League Playoff Tournament hosted by Mitchell on Aug 5-7th.
