Game Summary
The Superbas opened their season with a catastrophic loss to the Brewskis on Tuesday evening. The score was knotted at 2 apiece after the first inning, but the bottom eventually fell out for the Superbas and the Brewskis cruised to a 24-3 victory. The loss was the second worst in Superbas franchise history.
Stellar defense by leftfielder Chris Leo and third baseman Tim Evans made the game enjoyable to watch for the loyal cougar fans. First baseman Dyelan Grace and outfielder Airto Smith also made solid defensive plays.
Pitcher Jesus Espinoza, who was pulled in the top of the third after giving up an out-of-the-park home run only to return to pitch the following inning, struck out two batters.
The Superbas only managed to get ten hits off of the Brewskis’ crazy-windup pitcher. Evans led the charge with an RBI triple in the first and a double in the sixth. Shortstop Jeff Wisniewski added three singles.
In spite of the shellacking, the Superbas’ new players rose to the occasion. Of the Superbas’ ten hits, six were from players added to the roster this season. Two of the three runs batted-in and two of the three runs scored were also at the hands of the roster additions.
Catcher Joe Gray struck out to lead off the game and season, and struck out again to end the fifth. D-Grace struck out on fouls to end the first.
Defensive Player of the Game: Chris Leo.
Offensive Player of the Game: Tim Evans (2-3, 2B, 3B, RBI).
