El capitan is still reeling from another close divisional loss where we beat ourselves; the Trash Pandas will soon unveil a new lineup to make our final push for the playoffs without one of our key players. We're still in good shape to make the tournament if we can just play fundamental softball, maximize our strengths and take care of business on the field. I think our best games are still ahead! Standouts from the last two week's games:
Blue Rocks 9 - Trash Pandas 8
Got off to a slow start in this one with the wind blowing out, fought back and faded in the end.
Chenz 3-3, collecting another double
Greeley 2-3, setting the table
Jacob Forniglia 2-3, 2 runs, a double and speed to burn
Trash Pandas 17 - Aguilas 7
Bounce-back win in this key divisional matchup. Got off to a very fast start scoring 14 in the first 2 innings and never looked back.
Chenz 3-4 with a double
Dan "MVD" Mele 2-3, 2 RBI and 2 runs because...
Jacob F 3-3, 2 runs and a RBI

Chris Licurse 2-3 and a RBI
"Uncle" Ronn Forniglia 2-3 getting the line-up turned over!
