45 Minutes was all it took for team TPG to dispatch GSA 13-1 in three and a half innings last night. Rain threatened all day, but the force was with us as the sun came out in blinding fashion. The game was held on Great Lawn 4 which (as any veteran of the SLAM league knows) means direct sun in the batter's eye. Unaffected we were, with TPG scoring 5 in the 1st on 6 consecutive hits to lead off the game.
This would not be a close game, as TPG tacked on 5 in the second and 3 in the third before winning via the mercy rule after GSA batted in the top of the fourth. TPG's "sun don't bother us" power included a two home run day by SS Len Emmanuel (2 run HR in the 2nd, and 3 run HR in the 3rd), and a 3-3 night by 3B Jigar Patel (now leading the team with an otherworldly .818 avg). Not to be overlooked was another outstanding game by TPG pitcher Derrick Blocker (1 Run, 0 BB, 3 K) as he held GSA to only a couple of bloop singles.
Game Balls go to:
Len Emmanuel (3-3, 2 HR, 5 RBI)
Jigar Patel (3-3, 3B)
Derrick Blocker (3 K, 0 BB, 1 ER)
