Winsted Whalers 9 Canton Crushers 2
It was a standard start to the Whale vs Crusher baseball game. 1st inning, James Spirito got on with a single, Jack Rose put the ball in play to force an error and Matt Rose drove in the run with a single up the middle; Canton was now up 1-0 going into the bottom of the 1st. Luckily, the Crushers didn’t get the memo saying the Whale was hot. Through out the game, Jay Torres (2-4) would hit two triples and Justin Mohardt (2-3) would hit two doubles. Tim Smith was complaining about how he has square wheels, referring to his speed on the basepath, and the coaching said, “just hit stand up doubles.” He took that advice and hit two standup doubles going 2-3. It was never a dull moment because some of the Whale play with Canton during the fall. Between Jake Bryant doing great at the plate going 0-3, Bryce Tagliatatella chirping his own team, or Mitchell Gryniuk extending his hit streak while also starting a 3-game error streak, this was a great and fun game. Mark Cummings, who started for the Whale, would go 5IP, 0ER, 5 Hits, 2K and Peter Greenwood would come into close going 2IP, 0ER, 0 Hits, 1K. Final score, Whale 9 – Canton 2.
