Fairfield Invitation Tournament this Saturday!

Last year we won the Santa Cruz Classic, the only tournament we played in. Many of us also played with the Mets in the Woodland Classic and we won that tournament as well. Well now is our chance to go for another one. Game one is Saturday at Laurel Creek Park at 10:00am vs the Solano Mudcats, Game two is Sunday at Laurel Creek at 10:00am against the Indians, and Game three is 1:30pm at Allan Witt Park against the Novato Knicks. Roster is almost full, confirm with coach ASAP if you are in, and bring $25 in cash before our first game on Saturday.

Lumberjacks 8, Tomahawks 5

The Lumberjacks improved to 4-0 behind the strong pitching and hitting of Mike Taylor. Mike pitched a complete game, striking out 6 while giving up only 2 earned runs, and also went 4 for 5 at the plate with a double. Down 2-1 in the top of the 6th inning, the Lumberjacks scored 2 on a wild pitch to take a 3-2 lead and never looked back. In the top of the 9th inning, Danny Rico had a big hit with runners on, and helped to put the Jacks up 8-2. In the bottom of the 9th, Taylor got the first out, but the second hitter reached on an error by 2nd baseman Tom Macari. A few runs would score, and the Tomahawks put the tying run at the plate with runners on 2nd and 3rd with the score 8-5. The hitter hit a soft line drive over 2nd base, but Macari redeemed himself by bare-handing the one-hop behind second base, and in one motion jumped, twisted, and fired a strike to Lex Robins at first-base to retire the hitter and end the game. Kudos to Brian Karst who had 2 hits and played flawless shortshop, and Jake Holt for drawing 3 walks and playing solid third base.
