CENTRAL CATHOLIC… VANDEN… GAME TWO OF THE DIVISON THREE SEMI FINAL SERIES. AND THE RAIDERS COME OUT SWINGING…
LEADOFF HITTER TYLER WENTWORTH SLAPS THE BALL THE OPPOSITE WAY AND IN FALLS IN SHALLOW LEFT. THE SPEEDY LEFTY SLIDES INTO SECOND WITH THE DOUBLE.
THAT BRINGS UP PONYBOY…. AIDEN TAYLOR THAT BALL IS HIT HARD. BALL TRAVELS TO THE FENCE IN LEFT FIELD. TP SCORES. PONYBOY WITH THE DOUBLE.
THE NEXT BATTER IS THE CATCHER FERNANDO ALANIZ… AND CENTRAL CATHOLIC GETS THEIR THIRD DOUBLE TO OPEN UP THE BALL GAME. NANDO GOES DIVING INTO SECOND. TAYLOR SCORES MAKING IT 3-NOTHING RAIDERS.
AND THEY ARENT DONE YET… ADRIAN GARCIA ISN’T SETTLING FOR A DOUBLE. HE SAYS TO THIS BALL… GET OUT OF HERE WHY DON’T YOU?! 4-NOTHING RAIDERS
AND THEY GET CLOSE TO GOING BACK TO BACK… BUT CENTER FIELDER DARRYL DILWORTH ROBS THE HOMERUN! **ESPN CALL*
AFTER A SCORELESS TOP OF THE SECOND.. THE RAIDERS ARE BACK AT IT. BRAXTON THOMAS WITH TWO ON HITS A LINER THROUGH THE RIGHT SIDE. WENTWORTH STOPS AT THIRD. AJ MILLIGI SCORES. IT WOULD BE 6-NOTHING RAIDERS AFTER THE INNING.
STARTING PITCHER NOLAN ANDERSON PITCHING FIVE SCORELESS FRAMES AS HE GETS THE STRIKEOUT HERE.
BUT VANDEN EVENTUALLY SETTLING IN AND KEEPING THE RAIDERS OFF THE BOARD FOR THE REMANDER OF THE GAME THATNKS TO PLAYS LIKE THAT. WOW. WHAT A PLAY JACK BROOKS!
TOP OF THE SEVENTH… STILL 6-NOTHING CC. DILWORTH ROBBING THAT HOMERUN IN CENTER FIELD EARLIER SO HE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW FAR THAT FENCE IS. AND DARRYL CLEARS IT! HOMERUN NUMBER FIVE ON THE YEAR FOR DILWORTH.
AND THE VIKES LOOKING TO ADD ON MORE… RUNNER AT FIRST. BALL IN THE DIRT. ALANIZ A PICKOFF TO FIRST… THOMAS APPLIES THE TAG AND THAT’S HOW THIS ONE ENDS. CENTRAL CATHOLIC LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER GAME BEHIND THE DOMINANT PITCHING PERFORMANCE FROM ANDERSON. SPEAKING OF NOLAN…
WE WILL HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM GAME THREE OF THIS SERIES LATER ON SO STICK AROUND!
