The Paddlewheelers thought they had this one in the bag. By the time the third inning was over, they had five runs on the board and knocked 23-game winner Christopher Hester out of the game. But that's when the Monarchs started coming back.
It began with a four-spot in the fifth, where the Monarchs put together five hits. They added another two to take the lead in the sixth on four singles and another two insurance runs in the seventh on a two run blast by Armando Cedeno.

Well, that's a pleasant surprise. It's especially nice to see Cedeno playing well in the Cecil Cup at the tender age of 19.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I've had a 3-1 lead before and learned the lesson quite well of not counting my chickens and all that.
Ahh, yes, ring #3. I remember: That was a nice one, a surprise, kind of like the birthday gift you never expected to get.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Mack. :)
Michael, I am refraining from what I would normally say in the hopes of improving my karma.
ReplyDeleteNate sure is quiet though. :)
