Game Two
This
time a fired up AC squad took the lead out of the gate. Joel Platt
lead off with a double and was driven home on a base hit by third
baseman Jim Engles. Rob Edwards drove in another run with
a single and catcher Joe Diaz drove in two more with a
long triple.
Krauszer's came back with a run in the
bottom of the inning on a solo shot by Baste Costello.
They tied the game at 4-4 in the 2nd inning on an RBI single by
Charlie Kelly and a double by Gary Walker that
scored two runs.

Haskell AC roared back again in the 3rd on a string of base hits by Dave
Bauman Jr., Jim Engles, and Dan Vuksanic. Chris
Norton drove in the second run of the inning with a single and a sacrifice
fly to right field by John Volpe added another. Matt Geyer put
a final notch on the board with a run scoring single; making the score 8-4.
Krauszer's got a run in the 4th on a solo blast by Rich Lilienthal.
Following Rich's shot Jim Frank got on with a single. The next
batter Donny Giordano drove a fair ball over the left field
fence but it was nullified because Jim left first base early and was called
out under the following rule:
"Base-runners must maintain contact with the
base until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. If the runner leaves the base
early, the runner is out."
AC added two in the 4th on an RBI single by Jim Engles and a
sacrifice fly by Rob Edwards, to go ahead by five.
Just when things looked good for AC Krauser's
bats went to work to tie the score. Things started to get away from AC
pitcher Tom Sergi when outfielder Drew Juhlin
drilled a two run shot over the right field fence. After back to back
singles by Baste Costello and Dan McDonnell,
Dave O'Conner delivered a three run shot to straight away center
field to tie things at 10-10.
A tired Tom Sergi left the game
and Dave Bauman Jr. stepped in to do the pitching. He walked
the next two batters and then retired the side.
AC went down in order in the 5th and could only
muster one hit in the 6th. Meanwhile, Drew Juhlin got another
home run in the 6th inning, this time a two run shot over the center field
fence. And just to top it off Baste Costello got his second
home run of the game to make the score 13-10 going into the bottom of the
7th. This time Rob Edwards got on with a double, but again AC
could not overcome a three run lead.
Krauser's wins their record 14th game in a row
that featured a total of six home runs for their side, and they are the
2008 Skyline Softball League Champions. |
