The underdogs put up a gallant fight. They scored first, they hung tough and they almost came back to win. They made the Green Sox sweat, but came up one run short in losing 6-5.
The Green Sox pitcher walked the Ben Thomson and Nick Reeves to start the game. After a past ball Tino Peleti made them pay with a scorching single to score them both. Nick Reeves made an excellent read on Tino’s line drive and was just feet behind a tagging Ben at third and they crossed the plate in tandem to put MBC up 2-0.
The Green Sox did not earn the number one seed for nothing. They came roaring back in their half of the first to score three runs to take the lead.
Both teams settled down and the game became a defensive struggle. Campy Queen shut down a Green Sox rally in the second by picking off a runner at third with two out.
In the fifth with the bases loaded Jimmy Sheldrup brought the crowd to its feet with by slashing a hard line drive that was just not high enough to elude a leaping Green Sox second baseman.
Tino Peleti pitched valiantly against a strong hitting line-up but tired in the fifth allowing one more run and then two more on a bloop single with two outs.
It looked grim for MBC going into the seventh, but Ben Thomson lead off with a single. Hits by Tino and Mitchell Smith started to make the Green Sox nervous and after a two RBI single by Spencer Hogger MBC was in business. But their closer was called in and he struck out the final MBC batter with the tying run at third and the go ahead at second.
A great game, another proud MBC moment.
