American League 27 February

Today, the American League travel team embarked on a thrilling journey to Solivita for a double-header showdown. The first game kicked off at a leisurely pace, with both teams only managing to score a few runs in the initial innings. However, by the fourth inning, the score was deadlocked at 9-9. In a nail-biting turn of events, we surged ahead to 17-13 in the seventh inning, but alas, victory slipped through our fingers as Solivita staged a remarkable comeback to snatch an 18-17 win.

The second game was a tense affair, with both teams locked in a fierce battle. After three innings, the score stood at a paltry 3-3. We managed to maintain a slim lead throughout the game, reaching a high of 12-5 at one point. Despite Solivita's valiant efforts to claw their way back, they could only muster 11 runs to our triumphant 12.

In the end, it was a day filled with heart-stopping moments, epic comebacks, and unrelenting determination. Though victory may have eluded us in the first game, we emerged victorious in the second, proving once again that we are a force to be reckoned with on the field.

Notable hits:

Bradley Scheir, HR (3).

Derrick Lafleur, HR (2).

Mike Vaccaro, HR.

Billy Maxwell, HR.

Jose "JRod" Rodriguez, HR.
