WHITE PLAINS, NY
Poor base running and fielding errors were not enough to stop the Modsquad from winning this week. Modsquad bats overcame a weak defensive showing to squeak by Woodward & Curran last night, improving to 5-1 on the season.Modsquad’s best defensive play of the night came in between innings, when Modsquad Superfan Kristen Bladel realized that the opposing team miscalculated their run total.
Woodward & Curran’s scorekeeper gave the team an extra run, and Bladel was quick to correct.Modsquad shortstop Nick Difranza was hot at the plate, driving in a run while collecting three hits (two for doubles). Rob Lucas’ impersonator also had three hits, and drove in a run.
Dropped, booted, and misplayed balls plagued Modsquad all night, leading to nine unearned runs. Modsquad skipper, Alan Brogdon, was not thrilled at the
way the team came about their victory; “There’s winning, and there’s winning ugly. We won ugly tonight. We’re going to have to play a lot better next Friday”.Modsquad faces the number one team in the league, Colonial; in what will be a match up of two Goliaths. Colonial leads the division, with the Modsquad right behind them in second place.
Ok, so yes it was kind of ugly and nerve racking, but you all pulled it together in the end to get the WIN! I think Lori and I almost lost our voices!! :0) I am looking forward to cheering you all on this Friday!! It's a big game! I hope to color in those lil' fields a bunch of times!! It's going to be exciting!! GO MODSquad!!!!
we'll never make it to the World Cup in 2010 if we keep playing this way
