Mitchell 19, Clinton 19: Astros and Mustangs Collide for a Wild Ride
The Fuller Tool Sales Astros travelled to Clinton to step inside the stable with the Mighty Mustangs. Both teams were on fire offensively but were too hot for one to come out on top. The exciting game ended in a 19-19 draw.
Keith Linton and Thomas Schoonderwoerd led Team Harris both with the stick and the glove. Both boys hit each time off the machine and turned impressive plays in the field. Big slugger, Kayla Visneskie, continues to show these boys what girls are made of, hitting both times she got up to bat and with some more girl power Elyn Hannon went 2-3 and scored twice.
Lincoln Laverty stepped in and played catcher for the final inning, showing his cat-like reflexes and looking like a natural. Lincoln also went 3-3 on the day. Sean Gibbings, Carter Harris, and Carson Lubbers all went 3-3 off the machine. At the rate they're going, they would have destroyed more balls with their power than the pitching machine did last year.
Seth Brown was quick on his feet, beating the throw to first on both at bats while Lincoln Vandervelde got on base at each at-bat. These two consistently log RBIs. If only the Jays could take a lesson from these two!
Max Brodhagen started the late charge in the 3rd with a solid single almost to the grass, scoring the first of 7 unanswered runs and Reegan Vessie went 3-3, showing off his tremendous speed.
