After working feverishly for the past two off-seasons to beef up his power, Aaron Borgic popped his first, a 3 run homer in the 7th inning of the 23-13 win over Tri-City. Our current Prom King became a home run king at a critical time as the Tornadoes had rallied from a 13-2 deficit to make a game of it. Matt Weitekamp hit his second career century mark, scoring his 100th run in the 1st inning of the game. Lucas Durbin made a run at becoming the 1st players to hit for the cycle (single, double, triple & homerun in the same game) and came up a single short. Several asked about the record for runs scored and hits a in game...those records are not really maintained by Coach M's choice. Scoring over 20 runs or garnering large numbers of individual stats generally comes as a result of an embarrassing blowout of our opponent (certainly NOT the case vs Tri-City) and generally do not serve to promote the interests of good sportsmanship. So we don't keep track. We did, however, need every hit and run on Tuesday as Tri-City rallied repeatedly...so there's always a fine line between competing and sportsmanship...certainly one we try to stay on the right side of, but periodically miss. |
