Game Summary
The Superbas’ losing streak reached five this season (and eight overall) as they lost to a hostile Pit Crew, 20-5, on Tuesday evening at Concord’s Willow Pass Fields. A handful of cougars were in attendance.
The Superbas stepped-up their defensive play in last night’s game, especially in the later innings. In fact, if it weren’t for a disastrous second inning (among many other things), the outcome may have been different. Solid defensive play was highlighted by the up-the-middle tandem of second baseman Brooks Ramsdell and shortstop Jeff Wisniewski. Outfielder Tim Evans made several key plays, including a double play with Wisniewski.
The Grace brothers made their mark offensively as each homered in the losing effort. Outfielder Dyelan Grace hit a solo shot in the second and centerfielder Eric Grace lined a three-run home run in the third. Ramsdell and pitcher Kevin Ghalambor each added two hits and a run scored. First baseman Mike Atiyeh had an RBI double.
Rightfielder Jesus Espinoza struck out looking in the second.
Defensive Players of the Game: Brooks Ramsdell, Jeff Wisniewski and Tim Evans.
Offensive Players of the Game: Eric Grace (2-3, HR, 3 RBI) and Dyelan Grace (2-2, HR).
