An impressive victory

On Monday night the FBC softball team continued its memorable season with a 13 - 0 shutout of the top team in the league. St. Mary's was 12 - 0 and was having a pretty easy run through its schedule. The last time we met they beat us soundly and sent us to our second loss of the season. Monday it was a different story.

We scored a run in the first to take a one nothing lead. They threatened i the bottom of the inning by loading the bases bu couldn't get a run across the plate. We scored two more in the second inning and another in the third to take a 4 - 0 lead.

We played very well defensively and a couple of good catches by Steve Moon and Daryl Alves nipped potential rallies in the bud. In the fourth inning we traded zeroes on the score board. It looked like the game was going to go down to the wire but then our bats came alive in the top of the fifth. Daryl Alves led things off with a solo homer. Mike Staron, Dan Dutrumble and Chip Chaffee followed with RBI singles. Mike Young knocked in two runs and after a pop up by Eric Poore, Ken Kreger, Sean Wilding and Chris Vaillancourt ripped consecutive singles to plate a couple more runs. Steve Moon ripped a single to bring in another run and Darly Alves started it up again. By the time the dust had settled, We had scored nine runs and had a 13 - 0 lead. The rally knocked the wind out of St. Mary's and they went down to defeat.

Our record is now 9 -4 and playing very well. The best part of this run is That every night someone else plays the hero. Tonight it was Mike Young with three Rbi on offense and an impressive 3-6-3 double play on defense.

Our next game is Monday, June 15 at field one. Come down and root for us.
