Hand Rolled Bagels Padres vs. Modell’s Sporting Goods Braves
The clouds lifted just in time to allow the Padres and Braves to take the field in the final game of the season. Leading the Brave’s offensive output was Kenny Hirschfeld and Alan Sikora with four hits each. Ryan Wasserman had three hits and a towering double. Also contributing to the offense was Christian Sikiric, Michael Paladino, Edward Mauceri, Christopher Chin and Anthony Levia with three hits each.
The defense was led by Duhan Lee, Ryan, Kenny and Christopher with one stellar play after another. Kenny made a spectacular diving catch. Christopher had several steady plays at first base. The final out of the game was a great cap on the season for the Braves. Duhan fielded a hot grounder down the line at third and then fired a long strike to Ryan at first who made a great stretch to get the runner just in time. What a play, the crowd went wild. The coaches are proud of their team. They did a great job all season long and are a special bunch of boys.
