This was truly a game that the North Colonie team "never gave up". Congrats to the Pine Bush Nationals for a very hard fought game who also never gave up. In total, the NC team collected 18 hits, including 6 doubles and 2 triples. Offensively, Aidan Booker went 3-4 with a walk, 2 doubles, and scored 3 runs. Jack Bush could not be stopped on the base paths scoring 4 times. Jonah Booker went 2-3 with a team leading 5 RBIs. Brendan "Big Papi" Morrison swung a big bat collecting 4 RBIs. And John Sweeney went 3-5 with 4 RBIs, including a bases clearing triple in the 4th inning. Defensively, our team was once again excellent. There were too many well executed defensive plays to mentioned, each one helping slow the Pine Bush offensive juggernaut. One play in particular helped killed a Pine Bush rally. Steve Pardo, playing third base, reached around his body and snagged a "bullet" grounder down the third base line, turned and threw a laser to Brendan Morrison at first base, getting the speedy runner by a step. Our pitchers pitched with a lot of "gusto" today. James Oberting and Luke McLoughlin combined to keep the NC team ahead going into the 5th inning. In the 5th and 6th, Michael "ROCKY" Ferris, fought through the heart of the Pine Bush lineup, giving up just one run to close out the game for the NC "Nacho Cheese"! Great game to all!
