River Cities won its first Cecil Cup game this year, defeating Seattle 6-3 and cutting the Monarchs lead to two games to one.
Isidro Frau was in trouble right away, giving up a single and double and allowing the first Paddlewheeler run before even securing a single out. A John Hukill double in the third added another run for the Paddlewheelers. However, the real damage came when Hukill came up in the fourth with the bases loaded. Hukill slammed the ball 343 feet down the right field line and brought in four runs with a grand slam. The Monarchs never recovered from that. Seattle managed to get a run in fifth on Stephen Herbert's triple and two more in the ninth on a Gregory Mudge homer, but it was too little, too late.

ReplyDeleteNow if Palacio could just get a hit...
Given the results when I ran the exhibitions yesterday, this comes as no surprise to me. The next two games strike me as the key to the whole series. If one of us wins both, that team will win the series (obviously, I'll win 4-1 if I win the next two and Nate would, I think, probably take game 6 to win 4-2). If we split, I bet that it comes down to Game 7.
