Vancouver Voodi, road warriors extraordinaire, jumped out to 9-1 lead after 4 1/2 only to have an incredibly shrinking strike zone let the Red Sox bring the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the 7th. A past ball 3rd strike (helluva bender!) that should have ended the game gave the Red Sox a glimmer of hope but Jason extinguished that with another K, this time looking. A very effective outing by Rory in relief of TA had the Voodi in great shape come the 5th inning with the 9-1 lead. Isaac in relief of Rory was squeezed like Forida orange juice and should have finished the game but gave way to Jason for the close out.
A key 1st inning DP, some timely hitting and just a few inches either way on some hard hit balls would have had the mercy win but the game turned into another character builder with a positive end result. Well done, fellas.
Next game is our Vancouver Community League intra squad matchup on Tuesday night against the league dominating Expos. Have a great rest of Easter weekend gang, you earned it!! |
