Dugout Demons VS Guiseppe’s

Guiseppe’s looks to split their double header as well and open up against Dugout Demons who bat and field only 9, but neither team crosses the plate in the first. The second sees Johnny Pergine, the sub for Dugout Demons, get a rbi single to start the scoring. The third is when things become fun. With one on and one out, TJ Pergine crushes a ball, but Guiseppe’s right center fielder gets a great read on it and robs Pergine to prevent what could have been a two-run home run. Guiseppe’s takes that momentum into the bottom of the third and start the inning off with 4 singles, two rbi singles from Dave Barth and Tom Jacob, then a bases clearing three rbi single from George Jacob, then reload the bases and Greg Jacob gets a rbi walk, all before Guiseppe’s records their first out. After getting one out, Brendon Gray, who started the inning with a single, hits a Grand Slam to cap off the scoring and Guiseppe’s puts up 10 in the inning. Not to be outdone, Dugout Demons answers back in the top of the 4th, John Wagner hits a 2-run home run, then Jimmy Ruskos says I can do better with a three-run home run. TJ Pergine adds another on a rbi single, and dugout cut the lead to three. Guiseppe’s answers right back with a two rbi single from Greg Jacob and a Paul Kosiek rbi on a fielder’s choice to get the lead back to six.
