Game Summary

The Red-Legged Superbas staged a late-game comeback to force a tie, 9-9, in the early game on Wednesday, April 26, 2006, against the highly-touted Los Diablos. Los Diablos (in full uniform, mind you) got ahead quick, scoring 7 runs in their first three times at-bat. Strong defense by the Superbas the rest of the way held Los Diablos to only 2 more runs.

Down by five runs in the bottom of the sixth, the Superbas batted eleven players, the first five of which scored to tie the game. The Superbas stranded 10 baserunners in total, including two in the final inning. With men on first and second and one out in the seventh, the Superbas failed to plate the winning run.

Jason Bariel recorded the first strikeout of the season.

Designated hitter Wright Cole, fighting through injury, accounted for six of the Superbas runs, going two for three with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored. Third baseman Jeff Wisniewski and shortstop Andrew Orr had two hits apiece and scored three runs combined. In all, the Superbas had 12 hits, including a double by Brooks Ramsdell, a single and sacrifice fly by Eric Grace, and singles by Raphael Harper, Craig Wright and Carlo Quinonez.

Pitcher Quinonez shined once again on the mound. Rightfielder Harper made a dazzling catch along the right field line, impressing fans from all over Concord. Wisniewski, Jeff Adams, Ramsdell, Grace, Bariel and Craig Wright all made solid plays in the field.

Defensive Player of the Game: Carlo Quinonez.

Superbas Coverage

Post-Game Interview: Eric Grace (4/26/06)

Following the first game (and loss) of the young season, centerfielder Eric Grace met with reporters…

Reporter: “Strong pitching tonight from the Viper Squad.”

Grace: “Yeah, the guy threw a good game. Even when my best hit, a solid line drive, was caught, well I just knew that luck was on his side.”

Reporter: “You had an error in the 3rd inning. Can you tell us what happened on that?”

Grace: “Yeah that was a tough one. It came in with some real heat, and with the thick grass and moist conditions, I was expecting it to slow once it came into contact with the ground. In actuality, it seemed to accelerate off the field. At least we we were able to get an out on the play; Wisniewski made a nice throw from third to get the runner at second. And we were able to get out of the inning.”

Note from Kevin (4/28/06)

What up bras,

Can attendants of our last game please be on the look out for a beige glove that was misplaced by yours truly. The glove belongs to Jason Bariel (J. Bariel). If anyone has come across the glove, please pass the word along.

Safety Issues (6/24/06)

I witnessed a violent display in the parking lot at the end of Wednesday night’s game.  I stayed around to innocently drink a couple frosty beverages, chill with my homes and just enjoy the situation.  When suddenly, and without warning two hooligans began rumbling.  I feared for my own safety and immediately fled the scene.  From now on when we play late games I request that someone from the team escort me to my car.  If anyone else feels like this, perhaps we can start up committee:

Superbas Game 001-20060419

Game Summary

In a late-night heartbreaking game, the Red-Legged Superbas lost to the Viper Squad, 14-4, after six full innings on Wednesday, April 19, 2006. The Superbas franchise made its debut beneath the lights of the Concord Municipal main field in front of a large population of Concord cougars. (The Superbas’ opponents have had a long storied history in the league and were favored to win.)

The Superbas failed to piece together a series of hits that could have made the game manageable in the later innings. Stellar play in the field by second baseman Brooks Ramsdell highlighted the defensive side of the game and kept the Superbas in the hunt for a victory.

Ramsdell knocked in two runs on two sacrifice flies. Pitcher Carlo Quinonez struck out a Viper Squad power hitter and had three singles. First baseman Jeff Adams had a double and a triple, and scored two runs.

Defensive Player of the Game: Brooks Ramsdell.
Offensive Player of the Game: Jeff Adams (2-3, 2B, 3B, 2 R).
