Happy group of all-Stars celebrate baseball @ Godwin

 Following the tradition of wearing the colors of the reigning NCAA Baseball Champs, the CMBL fielded the Cardinal team managed by Joe Seme versus the Blues managed by Fulton Burns. On a perfect night for baseball, the Cardinals emerged victorious by a score of 8 – 2.

The “star” of the game was Ran Sun of the Boar’s Breath Choppers.  Ran went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI, plus he made the defensive play of the game, reminiscent of “Ozzie Smith”;  barehanding a shot behind second base and throwing while still airborne to nail the runner at first base.

The old guys from the Blue Division showed that they still have it. Both Jim Maresca of the Riptide and Billy Bennett of the Hurricane’s made spectacular catches in the outfield. The Hurricane’s Tim Whitehead went 2 for 2 with a double and an RBI.  The combined pitching of Bomber Trevor Kean, Warrior Sean McNally and Baron Matt Rowley held the Blue team to two runs over 9 innings.
