Eric Larsen hit two home runs and Sean Wilding hit a grand slam to lead the FBC team to a 27 - 8 victory against St. Marks tonight. Dan Dutrumble, Mark Staron and Tony Snurkowski all added three hits to the attack.
Paul Pont pitched very well and the defense held St. Marks to two runs until the fourth inning when the opponents put together a rally of their own. FBC responded by putting up a ten spot.
The team finished up with a 15 - 9 record, matching the highest win total ever for a First Baptist team. Last year's squad also had 15 wins as did the Championship team in 1993.
The team is on a roll going into the play-offs. They won their last five games and saved their best for the final two, winning both of them by 20 and 19 runs respectively. It is a good thing too because they will face Calvary Chapel in the first round of the play-offs. Calvary finished the season 21 -3. The good news is that until this week we were only the team to beat them. We split the season series with them. They won the first two by scores of 12 - 9 and 13 - 7. The second game was a nail biter that they broke open in the seventh inning. We won the third game convincingly and they forfeited our lost match up.
If FBC can keep up the hot hitting they stand a good chance of coming away with an upset. It is all in their hands now.
