Both of So Cal Bombers Losses at ISC World Tournament to Patsy’s, New York
Going in to Friday night’s game against Patsy’s of New York, the So Cal Bombers had lost only one game — to Patsy’s. That one was a 13-2 shellacking, including seven home runs by Patsy’s.
Friday night, that same Patsy’s team eliminated the Bombers from the ISC World Tournament, using the long ball once again. Patsy’s slugged three home runs off starter Marty Grant, in the first two innings, for a 4-0 lead, and never looked back as the Bombers could not muster much offense against Australian pitcher Adam Folkard. Patsy’s started right where they left off the other night, as two of the first three batter solo home runs, Thomas Makea and Brad Rhona.
In the second, Omar Moraga singled and scored on a long home run by Louie Joglar. Pitcher Marty Grant and Louie Joglar traded words, as Grant took umbrage to Joglar standing at home and watching it go, and flipping his bat. Several players on each side came out, when it appeared that a hockey game might break out. Grant was replaced by Lucas Mata, who surrendered just one run the rest of the way, a solo shot by Stephen Ratu. Things quieted down, including both offenses for most of the evening, with the final score winding up 5-1 Patsy’s.
