JUNE 27, 2008
Modsquad and company defeated first place rivals Colonial,
handing the bruisers their first loss of the season. With a 13-7 win, Modsquad now finds themselves in a very unfamiliar place; first.In what some consider to be a "from worst to first" Cinderella Story, the Modsquad has continued to build on last season's late run of success, winning seven of their last nine games.
Modsquad took an early 2 run lead in the first inning, but Colonial answered with two runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning.
After being held without a run in the next three innings,
Modsquad bats (and plate patience) exploded for 9 runs in the fifth inning. Modsquad scored two more runs in the final two innings, and effectively shut down Colonial bats for the remainder of the game.In an exclusive email (obtained by this writer) sent to the Modsquad team after the game, manager Alan Brogdon was ecstatic about his team's play:
"That team you just beat was the first place team and they were good. This was a huge win and it sent those (insert creative phrase here) a message that we were not going to go down easy. It was good to see us send them a message after they were
talking a smack before the game. Good work, be proud that we played like a true team. "Bruce Lin collected three hits (Double, 2 RBI) and Scott Berns had a key single in the fifth that drove in two runs. Brodgon, Chris I, and Nick each collected two hits in the win.
Great camera work Kristen!
Thank you!! Way to go ModSquad!! What an exciting game!! All of you should be proud of the way you played with patience at the plate, key hits to score some RBIs, & awesome defense to shut them down!! Wahoo!! It's so much fun watching the games and I enjoyed coloring in all those little diamonds!!! Keep up to good teamwork for this Wednesday!! Go ModSquad!!!
Dang kids.. you're doing great! I'm planning on being there this Wednesday! Hopefully I'm not a bad luck charm :(
Hopefully, there will be a lot more fans there this game. The team could really use the support of our fans, especially after a big win last week. We don't want to have a let down after that game...
Yay!! Christine you won't be a bad luck charm! It will be fun having you there to cheer everyone on!!
