Budke Hits, Pitches Black Sox to #1 Seed at Lancaster

From the LB Black Sox website:
Long Beach Black Sox Top Seed at Lancaster, CA

Todd Budke is a world class player and today he proved he can also pitch when needed as he threw a complete game (6IP) and allowed only 2 earned runs in the Sox 9-4 win over The Amigos giving Long Beach the # 1 seed on Sunday. Budke allowed only 7 hits and 1 walk in the win. At the plate Todd was 1-2 with 2 walks and an RBI. Budke was pressed into duty when Randy Clay could not pitch due to his arm injury suffered earlier in the day. The Sox also brought out the bats again. Leadoff man Paul Rosebush continued his torid hitting going 3-4 with 2 runs. Andy Martinez followed suit going 4-4 with 2 runs. Fred Hanker was 2-4 with a run and RBI. Chris Minogue also stayed hot with a 3 run home run to brek the game open. Brett Semans was 3-3 with a run and a RBI. The Sox hit Amigo ace Anthony Martinez for 14 hits and 9 runs. The Sox now are guranteed at least third place and play at 11:30 versus the winner of 4 and 5.
