Game 3 - NJ Pirates 9 Astros 1                                                                                                                                                                                         LP Alex Watt

The Astros run into a BUZZ-SAW Pirates team from the swamp land of NJ and drop our semi-final playoff game. What makes matters worse is that we play by far our worst game in the tournament while playing poorly behind our tough luck starter Alex Watt. We do manage to hit their pitching somewhat as our bats combine for 8 hits, 2 by Ryan Rusoff with doubles from Vinny Iannece, PJ Lenz and Vinnie Carminati but we score only 1 run.

WOW!! The Astros come out like gang-busters and eat up Team Connecticut in a 4 inning run-rule demolition 14-1 behind the dominant pitching of Mike Bergman and big Astros sticks who deliver 13 hits (5 2B's / 1 HR) in the 4 innings. PJ Lenz crushes a baseball over the CF fence for a 2 run 350 ft. HOMERUN! NICE! Mike Bergman (2 RBI), Zach Root (2B/2 RBI), Cam Maron (2B) and Alex Watt (2B/RBI) all deliver 2 hits while PJ Lens (HR/2 RBI), Max Tecce (2 RBI/2B) and Dylan Harmon (2 RBI) all drive home 2 runs. Great way to close out the tournament!
