Decos EHS beats Santa Isabel Zaragoza 4-1
Decos EHS pitcher and former Fedlock Falcon player and manager Mike Groves started this game as a pitcher and did fine. Mike took 5K's and Zaragoza got 7 hits of him. Offensively it took us untill the bottom of the third to score. Zaragoza scored one run in the top of the third. Decos EHS scored after Michael Cameron reached 1st on a walk, stole second, advanced to third on the throwing error and scored on a passed ball.
In the sixth we were able to extend our score with three extra runs. Bernard Hale hit a lead off HR over the left field fence. After that Beaumont was walked, Zomerdijk put down a great bunt down the third base line followed by a push bunt by Michael Cameron that advanced all runners.
Dave Hazel stepped up and hit a stand up double to left field which scored two runners. Mike Groves struck out the last two batters in the 7th and took the win
Play of the tournament....Line drive of the glove of pitcher Groves, short stop Michel Groenhart who was on his way to second, caught the deflected bal on hi sthird base side barehanded.. Everybody agreed...absolutely ESPN material.
