Ranger's got the brooms out and swept a pair this Sunday. The opener was hard fought duel with the Reds. The pesky Reds kept coming back after 5 runs scored for the Gers in the 1st and 2 more in the 3rd. Gers hung on for a 9-6 victory as the visitors. Bobby "Brooks" Holiday was incredible at the hot corner with several out standing plays. He was also 3/3 at the platter. Newby Dyllan (yes two l's) was a hot tamale with 2 3B's and a 2B while flashing solid leather in RCF. Chucky T had 2 hit and 2 RBI's including a very speedy triple!! Isaac "ant" Hill had a great day at SS flashing the leather and moving nicely into the lead-off spot with 2 hits and a run scored...consummate team player.
Second tilt saw the Pirates come to visit with a pep in their step. Gers once again got off to a fast start with 4 in the 1st to double up the Buckos 1st. 4 more in the 3rd stretched the lead but the Pirates kept fighting back. We prevailed and won 12-7 as many Rangers got in on the action. Brums who tossed two great games went 2/2 with a BB, 2B and 2 RBI's. Chucky stayed hot lashing out 3 more hits, 2 runs and 2 RBIs. Cowboy had another hit with an RBI and more Brooksy like D. Mike W had 2 hits and an RBI. Doors Moore also had two safeties. Cuddles chipped in with two hits and RBI's and Hogie had a singleton. It was great team effort all around....mostly good D and some timely hitting!!
