In Magnolia they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Spence, the fire Campy,
And they call the wind Tino
On what was a pleasant summer evening everywhere else in town the Magnolia 13’s played the rest of the island boys from Bainbridge defeating the Mavericks 9-1.
Tino Peleti threw six brilliant “wind aided” innings striking out ten of his neighbors. Six Bainbridge Island boys got to razz him on the ferry by recording hits.
It was a strong night for MBC offense all well. The first five players scored to lead off a good night. MBC added one run in each of the next five innings to win a mercy rule shortened game.
Ben Thompson led the game off with a hit, and the next two batters walked. Mitchell Smith scored two on his single and Campy Queen (2-4 2RBI) drove in the third run with another single. The Bainbridge pitcher “the King” tried to shut the door with a pair of strike outs but Peter Rakita (2-3 3RBI) came up big with a two out, two RBI single.
Magnolia scored a run in each of the next five innings and walked off the field on Campy’s game ending RBI single in the sixth. This brought a roar for BOTH crowds as the it meant we could all get out of the terrible wind that had blown all night
