Dodgers at Mets
The Dodgers and Mets picked a perfect night for baseball this past Wednesday. Both teams have played well this season and it was a great opportunity to showcase some of the league’s best young talent.
JT Fulmer got things started quickly for the Dodgers in the top of the 1st, running out an infield single. Ryan Haley moved him over to 3rd with a big double to left. Declan Alsup hit a sacrifice groundout to bring in the run and put the boys in blue on the scoreboard. Ben Wold also had a great day at the plate, going 2 for 2 and always causes problems for the opposing team on the base paths.
Ryan pitched a perfect 3rd inning for the Dodgers, striking out the first two batters and getting the third to groundout. The last out of the inning was the play of the game. Aidan Dougherty fielded a hard hit shot to shortstop perfectly and made the long throw to 1st. Declan made a beautiful backhand scoop in the dirt to complete the play and end the inning. Aidan D also showed off more nice glove work later in the 5th with some great stops at 1st base, making two outs himself.
Jack Hollmeyer was the star of the Mets today. The big southpaw pitched two perfect innings for the home team, striking out three. He also went 2 for 2 at the plate and had 2 RBIs. Kevin Santero had a great day at bat for the Mets as well, going 3 for 3, scoring a run and hitting in a run in the 1st.

Dodgers at Padres
The Dodgers and Padres finished off the 2010 baseball year in fine fashion this weekend. On the warmest day of the season, both teams came ready to play.
Garrett Alsup led the Dodgers attack today, going 4 for 4, scoring a run and hitting 4 RBIs. Aidan McCarthy followed him in the batting order and made for a tough middle of the lineup today. Aidan hit 3 hard singles and added 2 RBIs for the visitors. Logan Seitz didn’t let up the pressure for the Dodgers, going 4 for 4 with a clutch double in the 4th inning.
On the defensive side, the boys in blue looked just as good. It was warmest day we had all season, but it was Ben Wold who brought the heat today when he took the mound in the 2nd inning. Only one batter reached base that inning, while Ben struck out the other three. Declan Alsup continued where Ben left off in the bottom of the 3rd inning, striking out two batters while pitching a perfect 1-2-3 inning.
The Padres had a great game. We knew they’d be ready to play after meeting up with these guys earlier in the season and they were. Elan Soloman was the ace of the staff and threw nothing but smoke for the 2nd inning of the game. Not many boys will want to step up to the plate when that kid’s on the mound over the next few years. He struck out two batters. Chad Cliff followed in the 3rd and pitched really well for the home team. After a shaky start, he settled down and struck out the last batter to get out of the jam.
Great game. Great season!
