Friday 31 January


 

Home team Vining-Braves    vs.   Team Spitaleri-Fighting Coconuts

 

The game started out well for the Coconuts, 5 in the first with shoddy defense by the Braves.  The game continued with the Coconuts scoring 3, then 2 while the Braves were getting 2 here, 2 there.  Score after 5 innings with the Coconuts making some fine defensive plays, Coconuts 12, Braves 7.  But then the tides turned. 

 

The Coconuts were held to 0 runs over the next 3 innings, while the Braves scored 5 to tie the score at 12/12, going into the open inning.  With one out, Rob Reed, hit a 2-run homer, then the Coconuts loaded the bases.  But, the Braves defense came through, holding them scoreless.

 

The Braves came to bat and put the first 2 batters on.  Then Bob Vandenberg came through with a screaming line drive to right center that tied the game at 14 all.  Then, with 1 out Ramon Nunez drove in the winning run with a hit to left field.  What an exciting game!
