American League Update. Thursday 5 Dec,2024

The American League travel team had an exhilarating visit to Solivita for a two-game series.

The first game got off to a rocky start as we quickly scored four runs, but Solivita responded with five of their own. Unfortunately, we were unable to score in the second and third innings, allowing Solivita to take a commanding 10-4 lead by the top of the fifth. However, our bats came alive and we managed to score five runs, bringing the score to 17-16 in favor of Solivita by the top of the seventh. With a powerful offensive surge, we scored seven runs and secured a remarkable comeback victory with a final score of Winter Haven 23, Solivita 17.

The second game was a tense battle from start to finish. With the score tied at 16-16 at the end of the sixth inning, we managed to shutdown Solivita in the seventh. The game ended in dramatic fashion with Rob Aponte hitting a walk-off two-run home run, securing an 18-16 victory for Winter Haven.

We are eagerly anticipating our next meeting with Solivita in a few weeks. Get ready for more thrilling baseball action!
