Game 4 - NY Gothams 7 Astros 3
Another tough tough tough team!! The Astros fell behind early, kept the Gotham scoreless middle and late and chipped away with a few runs to make it respectable. Junior Fair pitched a commendable ballgame while also adding 2 hits and an RBI. Zach Root hit the ball hard and was robbed of 2 hits while adding a single for good measure. On the defense our outfielders ran down baseballs all day as Dan Levine and Mike Sciortino played flawlessly while Ryan Rusoff and Matt Malley play strong up the middle versus a heavy hitting talented team.
