The Buzzards are 5-4, escaping a 6-donut hole, to win 7-6 over the Richmond Monarchs, thanks to a 3 run 9th. Buzz maybe a little drowsy(rusty) in the early going, credit to Richmond's skeleton crew of 9 for jumping ahead. The bats wokeup midway in the game, setting the stage for some lateshow drama. Several guys had multiple hit games, Darren Turik a pair of singles, plus the leadoff walk to trigger the 9th inning rally. Tony Maz is back in the saddle, 2 for 4 including the winner, an opposite field drive scoring Wardo easily from second. Tony was also behind the plate, the whole way on a warm day at the yard. Dan J. a two hit day of his own, and reached base 3 times. Neil chipped in a pair of hits as well, & was active at the hot corner. Ian Williams cameup with a nice running catch in foul territory to help keep the Buzz within reach, Dave Reeves was solid in center. That Jimmy Romer guy.. not bad either, pair of doubles and 3 ribbies, including a key one in the decisive 9th. Kudos to Pete L. for his ultra steady 5 shutout innings on the hill, allowing just 3 hits in that stint. Exciting comeback guys. Summertime finally, and we're heading into a busy stretch of games starting next Saturday morning at S.Surrey vs Legends.
