Gendreaus vs Rose and Vickies
Thurston pitched a solid game and was backed up by good defense in the infield and outfield. Putting the ball in play and smart base running on offense closed the door vs R & V. Oxsen and Christian both hit homeruns. Whitman did a fantastic job behind the plate in his first Major Division game debut. For the second game in a row, Schmidty prevented extra runs from scoring with golden glove defense at 3B.
We've started the season off playing very good baseball. Keep up the good work. Lets keep our bats swinging, gloves ready and heads up on the base path.
