Game Summary
Another game, another starting pitcher, another loss for the lowly Superbas. The Superbas suffered their most humiliating loss in franchise history as they bowed down to a group of geriatric farmhands, Censored, in the early game at Concord Willow Pass Fields on Tuesday evening, 25-8.
The Superbas had the lead heading into the bottom half of the fourth inning, but as fate would have it, the bottom fell out for the Superbas.
Offensively, every Superbas player down the lineup either registered a hit, scored a run, or knocked in an RBI. Shortstop Jeff Wisniewski homered to lead off the second inning. Catcher Joe Gray had two singles, two runs scored and an RBI. Outfielders Eric Grace and Chris Leo had two singles apiece. And leftfielder Tim Evans, who seemed lost at times defensively, kept his hot bat with a single, a triple, and two RBI.
Starting pitcher B.H. Bronson Johnson pitched well following a shaky first inning, and made a great play on a line drive up the middle. Relief pitcher Kevin Ghalambor relieved Johnson in the fifth inning, but following nine balls on nine pitches and two runs scored, Johnson returned to the mound.
The defensive highlight of the game was a play at the plate on a throw from centerfield by Leo. Wisniewski played solid defensively.
Defensive Player of the Game: Jeff Wisniewski.
Offensive Players of the Game: Joe Gray (2-3, 2 R, RBI), Chris Leo (2-3, 2 R) and Tim Evans (2-2, 3B, 2 RBI).
