Game 3 Recap


Game #3

Crows 25
Bounty Hunters 14

The Young Crows found themselves in a heated back and forth game in their 3rd contest of the year. Going up against a young 20 something team full of energy and vigor, the Bounty Hunters trailed most of the game, but kept it close. The finished the 5th inning taking a 14-13 lead in a see saw battle. The umpire then declared the 6th inning to be the final inning. The Crows took their at bats down by 1, but as a true veteran team as they are, they took advantage, sending 17 batters to the plate, scoring 12 runs, and taking a 25-14 lead, which ended up being the final.

The final inning saw Bernie Knox leading off the inning, needing only a double to complete the cycle. Down by 1, Bernie roped one down the line, but rather than stop at 2, to get his cycle, he continued on to 3rd, taking a team first attitude. He ended up scoring the tying run, but still a double short of the cycle. The Crows then went to Caw for Bernie, batting around, and getting to their leadoff hitter for the 2nd time in the 6th. This at bat, Bernie again laced a line drive, and ended up on 2nd base, completing his cycle. This being said - Player of the Game is an easy choice:


Game Ball- Bernie Knox
5-5 5 runs, 3 RBI's, 1B, 2B, 2-3B's and a HR
