It was a battle between pitchers and batters today. Various points were awarded for getting ahead in the count, walks, hits, short pitch outs, long pitch innings, runs, errors, etc.
The game was played with many ghost runners (leftover from Halloween I presume) so it was hard for me to tell who scored and how many scored.
Today the hitters bested the pitchers 121 to 102.
The pitchers today were:
Dalton Wood 3.0 innings with 2 SO
Drake Greenwood 1.0 inning with 2 SO
Brandon Deskins 3.1 innings with 6 SO
Zach Esquivel 2.2 innings
Blair Lewis 3.0 innings
Evan Kravetz 2.0 innings with 1 SO
Hitters:
Antonio Cruz 1 single
Trei Cruz 2 singles
Justin Dunlap
Aaron Beaulaurier 3 singles
Bradon Comeaux 3 singles, double and a HR
Justin Collins 2 singles
Rodrigo Duluc 1 double
Dominic Cox 3 singles
Brandt Frazier 1 HR
Bradley Gneiting 1 single
The same format will be used for tomorrow's scrimmage.
