Around Town, May 11

Team Rainey rallied from 3 down to tie the Long Beach Black Sox in the final inning in the Artesia City League Wednesday night. Dee Nieblas had a key two out, two run single, after Dwayne Fowler received an intentional pass to load the bases. Team Rainey stranded the go ahead run at third, ending the inning with the score tied. The Black Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the final inning, but did not score. It was starter Rod Rainey pitching himself out of trouble. (Yes, you read that right, pitcher Rod Rainey! Not bad for a guy rehabbing from shoulder surgery). Rainey’s centerfielder Roy Guinaldo ran down a towering drive off the bat of Fred Hanker for the final out.
