| Presley Field Holds a
Slammers baserunner at first. |
The
Strike One Sports Slammers lived up to their name Monday night in a 17-6 victory
against the Marietta Knights at Larry Bell Park. The Knights were somewhat shell
shocked as the Slammers blasted line drive after line drive into the outfield
off of some of the Knights' top pitchers. Slammers' pitchers also threw harder
than any team the Knights have faced this season. On the plus side, the
Knights got RBI hits from George Krivsky and Hunter Williamson. The tough man
award for the night goes to Jack Rinehimer without question. In the 2nd
inning, the fastest fastball that we have seen all season hit Jack solidly in
the back. It was certainly the scariest HBP we've had this season (the 2nd
scariest would be 2 batters later when Garrett Wells had the wind knocked out of
him when he took an equally blazing heater in the back off of the same pitcher).
Jack, like Garrett, refused a courtesy runner and stayed in the game. In the
4th, Jack was on the mound and was hit flush again with a low line drive. After
the ball bounced off his leg, Jack recovered it and fired on to first for the
out before crumpling to the ground in pain. Red shoes or not, Coach Rob will no
longer call this tough guy Dorothy (But Nemo is still on the table). The Knights
will have to regroup quickly as they travel to Cartersville for the USSSA Champs
Wear the Rings Tournament this weekend.
