Cadez Shuts Out Flamingos; Lumberkings Win Bracket Opener
“Jake Cadez cruised past one of the top rated offenses in the league, behind great defense and two strikeouts. Cadez allowed two runners on in the first, but after that no inning saw more than one Flamingo on the base paths. All four runs for the Lumberkings came in the top of the fifth. Frank Fortunato broke the scoreless tie with a two run home run, then Christian Johnson followed with one of his own three batters later. Gino Joseph threw the complete game for the Flamingos, he struck out 6 and got tabbed with the loss. Austin Berger led the Flamingos with two hits.”
Flamingos Force Deciding Game With 6 Run 4th Inning
“The Flamingos were down 5-0 going into the bottom of the fourth. Austin Berger led the inning off with a single, then Gino Joseph blasted a two run home run and the bats came alive for the squad in pink. Four more hits, a walk, and a throwing error put the Flamingos ahead by a run, the go ahead run came across after a throwing error by the Lumberkings right fielder. Steve Keelon, the starting pitcher, closed the door in the top of the fifth with two strikeouts. Christian Johnson hit a home run in the second to put the Lumberkings up early. The Kings struck for four more in the top of the fourth on home runs by Jake Cadez, Frank Fortunato, and Mike Ulam. Cadez cruised through three innings before the fourth inning rally by the Flamingos, as he got tabbed with the loss on the rubber.”
Joseph Leads Flamingos to Field 3 Bracket Victory
“Gino Joseph hit two home runs and pitched a complete game, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five, to give the Flamingos the Field 3 Bracket victory during Week 2. His first home run came in the third and it was a grand slam, which put the Flamingos ahead 4-2. His second was a two run shot in the fourth, making Joseph responsible for all six runs for the pink squad. Christian Johnson gave the Lumberkings the lead in the first with a single. Justin Davey added a solo home run in the second inning for the Kings. Cadez tossed the complete game for the light blue.”
