TriValley game vs. Yankees on June 1, 2003

We beat the Yankees 12-3.

Julian Lopez pitched 6+ and Denny Brown finished up. We got ahead early with the help of some Yankee miscues. The Yankees threatened often, but Julian was able to wriggle out of trouble each time. We played flawless defense and made a bunch of outstanding defensive plays. From memory:

• Randy Cobb ran down a deep fly in right-center hit by Mike Souza.
• Zach Jones , Gus Manning, and Julian got a 3-4-1 ground out. Zach made a good move to get to the ball and knock it down; Gus handled the deflection and fed a perfect lead throw to Julian covering.
• Frank Bower threw out a runner trying to score on a sac fly. Frank to Denny to Phil Montes at the plate. The play was made possible because Billy Davis came up lame part way home.
• Jim Gardner made a tough snag on a hot grounder to his left. I can't remember who hit it.

More when I have time...
