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.
