| Close game turns into rout as Southern Yankees bats on holiday vacation |

| The South Florida Reds made it look easy with a smooth 11-1 rout of the Southern Yankees. On a beautiful day @ the ballpark the Southern Yankees would take an early 1-0 lead in the first inning but were outscored 11-zip the rest of the game. Joe Darelli, Jerry Wichert and Sam Bartoletta would all get aboard via walks in the bottom of the first with no outs and the Southern Yankees looked poised to break the game open early. Eric Judd came through with a long sac fly to center to score Darelli but an inning ending double play induced by Reds picher Leon snuffed out any more damage.The Reds scored 2 in the top of the second to take the lead and cruised the rest of the game. In the fourth the Southern Yankees would again load the bases but another inning ending hard hit double play ball curtailed any damage. All in all the Southern Yankees would hit into 4 double plays as the Reds played flawless dEfense. Even when we hit the ball hard it was right at someone with a red and white uniform. Thats baseball for ya ! Reds pitcher Leon was an artist on the mound& walked six, struck out 5 and only allowed only 3 hits to the Southern Yankees feeble attack. Player/Manager Ray Asmar clubbed two of those 3 hits and Sam Bartoletta the only other hit the team could muster. Pitcher Eric Judd pitched valiantly in defeat giving up 5 earned runs on 8 hits with 5 walks. He struck out 8 redbirds and has a bright future once he gets in pitching rhythm and the Southern Yankees bats decide to wake up from their extended game slumber. All in all a dissaponting loss when we had numerous chances to break the game open, we could not get the big hits we are accustomed to getting from the dormant Southern Yankees lineup. We were missing many key players especially Reidy & the Tomasi sluggers and look to return to the formidable lineup of previous seasons as we resume baseball in early January. Please enjoy the Christmas holiday and New Years with your family, friends and loved ones & cherish these times with those very special people in your lives. May the following- Hope,Faith,Inspiration,AppreciationProsperity & Laughter be in abundance for everyone in the coming New Year ! For many of you I hope Santa brings you a new bat along with your potent swing back. You all have what it takes to continue to compete with the 18 Year olds on the baseball field so dont forget that as you will all come out of your batting slumps in the near future. Babe Ruth led the league in strikeouts but he also led the league in homeruns. At least for a long while he did. Remember that! STAY THIRSTY MY FRIENDS! |
