Major Dodgers: Welcome
Saturday, March 28
Dodgers come together and beat Cards- 9-4
The 2009 Dodgers have arrived!!
Werker pitched 4 2/3 innings, holding the Cardinals to
one . Baytosh showed allstar quality at second, tracking down
balls all over the infield.And C.Durham was a welcome site back,
snagging a big rip at short and then closing out the victory on
the mound.Resindez was solid and sharp at first.Because of such
phenomenal pitching, Drysol was quiet at third. Williams had a
huge flyball caught from the Cardinals' Perez in center. Mckee
and Salem both handled right field, keeping the Cards
to small hits.And Lumos and Lujon both covered leftfield like
true athelets.Hovis,as usual, was outstanding behind homeplate,
keeping Cardinal baserunners in check and allowing no steals at
home.
This is the team that coach Werker and staff have been
shaping over the weeks.Every player did their respective duty
and contributed to this victory.
At the plate, the Dodgers racked the ball all over the place.
Resindez was the star batter , gathering four doubles and a single
with two RBI's for the series with the Cards.Hovis ( 2b,2b-rbi)
C.Durham(1b,1b),and Werker(2b-rbi,1b) all pounded the ball like
true veterans. Salems Rbi single in the first helped extend the
scoring to 4-0 .Baytosh swung the bat well with a Rbi double in
the second inning.Lumos' battle at the plate resulted in a strike
out but showed the fight in him as he ran the Cardinals pitch
count up.
This team now knows the formula for success and will take
this confidence to the next series against an evenly matched
Indian team. Come out and support the team as they make a run
up the win column to the season ending tournament.
Great game Dodgers!!!!!!!
