Game Summary
The Superbas ended their second season with a disastrous 0-12 record on Tuesday evening. The Superbas played their best game defensively, allowing only eight runs to the first-place Pit Crew. However, the Superbas matched their best defensive game with their worst offensive game in team history, garnering only one run on eight hits. The final score: Pit Crew 8, Superbas 1.
Second baseman Andy Orr played well defensively and pitcher Brooks Ramsdell pitched a gem. Several great plays were made in the outfield by outfielders Jesus Espinoza, Chris Leo and Tim Evans.
The game could have potentially come down to one swing if it were not for four consecutive errors in the last defensive inning for the Superbas. With the game knotted at 5-1 with two outs, the four next plays saw Ramsdell failing to cover first on a routine ground ball, first baseman Eric Grace dropping an easy throw from Orr at second, Orr bobbling a grounder between first and second, and a ball going under shortstop Jeff Wisniewski’s glove on a grounder up the middle.
Orr and Wisniewski each singled twice and drew a walk. With the bases loaded and two outs in the last inning, Evans popped out weakly to the first baseman, ending the season and cementing the pitiful legacy of this year’s Superbas team.
Ramsdell struck out looking in the third.
Defensive Player of the Game: Andy Orr.
Offensive Players of the Game: Andy Orr (2-3, BB, R) and Jeff Wisniewski (2-3, BB).
