The rockers took on the legends at Truist Field Tuesday evening and it was a close game till near the end when things got sloppy! Score was 4 - 3 in the bottom of the 7th but it was until the 8th inning when Jake Romanski was at bat. He hits a ground ball to right field and two guys manage to score as the rockers defense struggled to throw the ball! The coordination was sloppy on that play! Jake Romanski managed to get to 3rd!
Bottom of the 8th Michael Martinez makes a double with two in. The rockers were only down by 1 at this time!
Top of the 9th Roberto Baldoquin hits a ground ball to the first baseman. He playfully tries to tag him forgetting there is someone already on 3rd. He manages to score resulting in another run that gives them a 2 run lead.
In the bottom of the 9th the rockers pretty much gave up. Jerry Down and Stewart Levy ground outs. JR steps up as a pinch hitter and gets a fly out!
I have no clue what was going through Jamie Keefes mind near the end of the game. Just hope he has the guy realize what happened in the last 2 innings and not do that again! The rockers play the legends again Wednesday evening starting at 7pm. We just hope they can do better for game 2! The rockers need to win this series to stay ahead on the standing for the 2nd half.
