The "Trash Can" boys played a solid two games to get themselves back tied for 1st with the Yard Goats.    

Game 1 vs Banta's Grasshoppers was highlighted by Justin Reed going 1-4 with a solid line drive single and 3- HR's with 7 - RBI's to go along with it.   Jordan Allsup continued his hot power hitting by also adding another HR to his  yearly total.   Team Venezuela also played a solid game with Arevelo, Freddy and Pablito adding another combined 8 hits to the team total.   

 

Game 2 was a tough matchup with Prim's Muckdogs and initially didn't start well as Hauf decided to challenge Donald Prim and he put two balls into the bleachers after his first two AB's.   Tied 4-4 we added 3 more and the Muckdogs fought back and scored 3 of their own over the next two innings.   Jordan Allsup found his power bat hitting into the wind with what turned out to be the GW 2- run HR.   We added another to make it a 10-7 lead as we were able to get the 1, 2, 3 in the final inning to close out the victory.   Seth Pepkin made a great catch on Donald late in the game to stop his torrid hitting.  It was great to compete against Stephen Wedderburn who came in from Houston as a sub.    One of the great Shalom competitors.
