Game 1
TACOS - 19
Pigs - 9
The TACOS arrived at Spirit Park early to face the classy Iron Pigs. The Tacos game out of the gates hot and scored in bundles, with the entire lineup producing at least one hit each! The Tacos were led on offense by Matt ‘I love the outfield fence’ Shwarts, Luke ’58 time IPOW’ Morgan, Kevin ‘Knoxie’ Knox, Stevie ‘Fountain of Youth’ Johnson, and Intern Cesar. Ace Banta rounded back into form and held a solid Piggy squad in check, and the Tacos came out with a nice W. Side note – it goes without saying but it’s always a pleasure to go up against Ryno and his teammates.
Luke Morgan – 4 for 4, 2B, HR, 7 RBIs
Matt Shwarts – 3 for 3, 2B, 1 RBI
Kevin Knox – 3 for 3, 2B, 2 RBIs
Steve Johnson – 3 for 4, 1 RBI
Cesar Garza – 3 for 4, 2 RBIs
Game 2
TACOS - 6
Rangers - 12
The TACOS faced off against a red-hot Rangers squad in game two, led by the crusty veteran and HOF’ER Larry Silverman, and a tutu wearing LCF known to some as the ‘I Guy.’ The Taco bats went cold as returning stud pitcher Kelly Alexander smothered the Taco offense. The Tacos had a lot of hard hits, but they seemed to go right at the Rangers D (the LCF made a couple of stellar catches, tutu and all).
Brian Osgood – 2 for 4, 2B,
Keg Dyer – 2 for 3, RBI
Cuddles Haas – 2 for 3, RBI
Cesar Garza – 2 for 3, RBI
Alicia Shwarts – 1 for 3, RBI
IPOW
Luke Morgan – 5 for 7, 1B (3), 2B, HR, 7 RBIs, 4 runs
HONORABLE MENTION
Cesar Garza – 5 for 7, 1B (5), 3 RBIs, 2 runs scored
