SAGAMORE PLUMBING REMAINS UNDEFEATED IN 12-5 VICTORY OVER THE SONS

In the early going of this tilt between the Sons and Sagamore Plumbing, the bats of Sagamore were hot and the Sons bats were not.  Sagamore Plumbing put up 12 runs by the third inning (aided by too many mishandled defensive plays by the Sons and too many deep gap hits off the potent Sagamore line-up) and the Sons hadn't managed a hit of their own yet. Then in the top of the fourth inning, Jake Parker reached base on a walk and then was followed by a Dom DePaoli single, which then was followed by Cam Comeau's rocket shot three run homer (his first of his little league career) making the score 12-3.  The Sons added 2 more runs in the sixth inning, but then squandered a big rally chance when they left the bases loaded, ending a late game comeback, and ending the scoring at 12-5.  The Sagamore strong pitching trio of McGrath, Smith, and Murphy, mounted a 16 strikeout effort against the Sons who have been guilty of taking too many called third strikes at the plate.  With a more concerted effort, and hopefully earlier than later, the Sons can get the bats swinging, and turn those called third strikeouts into basehits, resulting in a better overall team hitting effort.  Next on the schedule is a Mother's Day matinee game against Jack Conway Realty.
