Game Summary
The Superbas carried a 5-3 lead into the bottom-half of the fourth inning Tuesday evening in a rematch against the Brewskis, but the bottom eventually fell out, and the Superbas lost 18-10 in the late game.
Pitcher Brooks Ramsdell pitched another excellent game, striking out one, and more importantly, only allowing one base on balls. Outfielders Chris Leo and Eric Grace played solid defensively and shortstop Jeff Wisniewski held his own.
Grace hit a three-run home run down the right field line in the sixth inning. First baseman Mike Atiyeh had three hits including a two-run double giving the Superbas a temprary lead in the top of the fourth. Ramsdell and rightfielder Jesus Espinoza added three hits apiece.
History was made in the game, however. It was the first time in recorded softball history that a pitcher struck out the side. Leo, third baseman Andy Orr, and Grace struck out looking in the first.
Defensive Players of the Game: Brooks Ramsdell and Jeff Wisniewski.
Offensive Players of the Game: Jesus Espinoza (3-3, RBI), Eric Grace (2-4, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI) and Mike Atiyeh (3-4, 2B, R, 2 RBI).
