Patsy’s Smashes Seven Home Runs Enroute to Win Over So Cal Team
The So Cal Trejo Bombers, after winning their first two games at the ISC World Tournament at Kimberly, Wisconsin, ran into a buzz saw against Patsy’s of New York, falling 13-2 and into the loser’s bracket in the double-elimination tournament. Patsy’s hit seven home runs in the contest, scoring in every inning against All World pitcher Lucas Mata. Mata surrendered 10 of the 13 runs, in an uncharacteristic bad outing. Patsy’s led 6-2 headed into the fourth inning, when Patsy’s hit two more home runs, extending the lead to 10-2. Tony Peeples came on for Mata and retired the next two batters to end the inning, but the damage was done and the Bombers never recovered.
Patsy’s is one of the favorites in the tournament, having won the ASA Major tournament a couple of weeks ago. They certainly looked like the team to beat on Wednesday against the Bombers. Young Australian pitcher, just three years out of the junior program picked up the win, tossing a three hitter and striking out nine.
The Bombers, now 2-1, will return to play in the loser’s bracket, playing the late night game tonight, Thursday, August 14th, at 10:00 p.m. on the main (lower) diamond, taking on the winner of an 5pm game.
