ROHRERS ROARS BACK TO DEFEAT MILLERS
7-5
Orwigsburg Memorial Field
Well,cranks ,what can I say about the game played on Saturday, May 26? It scared the dust off my old cleats. What was
happening out on the diamond I couldn’t say. Our boys came out and played the
first inning as flat as a bleacher board.
Millers came to
play. They hit us. They forced us to have errors. They were yelling and
shouting like they were in the World Series. The voices heard from their bench
were calling it their “Cinderella” game. Now don’t get me wrong, we played the
ball well, but our hitting was behind schedule. At this point there were some
motivational speeches coming from our dugout.
Manager Grace yelled out to the club, “Come on, guys. It’s a game! Let`s
go! Do you want to lose? You better wake up!!!” Our boys just stared and looked shocked. This
can’t be true. We are losing the game! It is slipping away to Millers.
But one thing we
all forget about this club is their refusal to loose. If you ask any of the
cranks who witnessed this ball game about what the most outstanding feature of
the game was, they’ll answer you:
Oh, boy, you should
have seen our boys in the top of the 5th….M. J. was at bat and got
walked. One man on. The score stood 4-1 Millers. Drew banged out a double and
sent M.J. home. Score: 4-2 Millers. Big
Jakob stepped into the box and slammed a double out to left field sending Drew
home. Score: 4-3 Millers. Nate, poised
as always, took all his pitches with two foul balls off his bat and on a full
count was walked. Now, two men on. Up next was Dylan Biever. Miller`s pitcher
took a slight break and looked around the diamond. He came out of the stretch and was going to
try and overpower Dylan with a fast ball. But before he could, Dylan smashed the
apple to deep center with Millers fielders chasing after it sending Nate around
the bases. Dylan zoomed around the infield with lighting speed and once again
pulled the team through with another inside the park homer putting Rohrers
ahead 6-5.
Our boys did it
again! They came from behind and pulled out an almost sure loss. Drew bagged a
triple out in the top of the 6th
which drove home M.J. for another score making the final 6-5.
Our boys did some
fine fielding in this game. M. J. pitched an excellent game. Jake finished
Millers off with some nice strike outs and played first base like a pro. Dylan
made a great jumping catch for an out. Nate had a close call at third with a
fine throw from Drew who was catching. Easton ,one
of our rookies, nailed a fastball between 2nd and first for a nice
hit and a single. T.J. caught a few innings and did well. Chase Weiser, Blake
Lipko, Dylan Grace and Seth Grube kept the outfield safe and secure.
It was a great come
back from a fine Rohrers team who played some thrilling base ball. At first,
they looked like they lost faith in their ability to play the game but ,to this
writer, they look like the Rock of Gibraltar.
Now, our next
opponent is the only club to beat Rohrers this year. Let`s hope we can avenge
our previous losses to Bedways. It`s up to our boys!
