Boys Bounce Back By Beating Brewers

Tino "Bugman" Peleti, in the dugout



The MBC 13’s stopped their losing streak with a big 6-0 win against the Brewers Gold team. MBC hit on all cylinders combining pitching, defense and hitting to dominate the game.

Tino “Bugman” Peleti was on fire on the mound and at the plate. Tino threw 6 2/3 innings of shut out ball striking out ten and was 2-3 with a home run a triple and five RBI. Chris Luttinen relieved in the sixth to close the door.

Defense was huge for the MBC team. The team made all the routine plays and Campy shut down any running game the Brewers tried. Stuart Fairchild made a Willie Mays catch racing deep into left center. The game ended with a terrific double play. With the bases loaded a soft line drive looked to be a sure hit up the middle before a loping tall Nick Reeves made a snow cone catch and doubled the runner off second.

Ben Thomson did his best to jump start the offense going 3-3 from the lead-off spot. He was stranded in the first inning but scored his next two times. In the third inning a walk to Keenan was followed by a double by Ben and the stage was set for Tino’ first blast of the night. With two down and a 0-0 tie the Brewer pitcher tried to get Tino with his off speed curve ball. He missed once, fouled off another and sent the third curve DEEP into the night for a three run homer.

The fifth inning was a deja’vue moment. Keenan started the inning with a single and was followed by another Ben Thomson hit. This time they tried to pitch around Tino but brought one pitch too close and Tino again sent the ball deep into the night for a triple. Stuart Fairchild promptly drove him home with his second hit of the night.

Campbell Queen had two hits and Spencer Hogger, Peter Rakita and Sam Deane also added hits. Sam put a charge into another ball in the seventh inning but his attempt at extra bases was shut down by a fine catch by the Brewers left fielder.
