Game #2 in Caguas








We finally got to play the PRBAHS team on Friday. But first we had a stop at the Fonza Bat Company in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. Check out http://www.fonzabats.com/ for more information. These bats were pretty nice and a bunch of the kids bought one for use and.or a souvenier. After visiting the Fonza factory we made our way to the stadium for our game against the PRBAHS team.

The GAB jumped out strong against the PRBAHS team but failed to plate anything. Will Ramos lead off drilling a shot into CF but it was caught for the first out. Larry Pagano drew a walk and after two stolen bases the GAB had runners at the corners when Carlito Arroyo drew a walk. But a well executed 1st and 3rd play got both Carlito and Larry out to end the inning. Stefan Livsey took the hill for the GAB but after a scoreless first starting feeling muscle tightness in the second. Stefan surrendered two runs and left with the bases loaded. Ron Emanuelson came on to get the GAB out of the jam. The score was 2-0 PRBAHS after two.

The GAB plated a run in the top of the 3rd when Barrett Couden ripped a single to open the inning. After a stolen base, Barrett scored when the PRBAHS team committed an error when Christian Colon's put the ball in play. With the score 2-1 PRBAHS, Carlito Arroyo came on to pitch the 3rd and 4th innings. Carlito pitched a scoreless 3rd and gave up one run in the 4th. In the 4th Carlito got in a little trouble giving up a basehit and a walk. After a liner to 1b which was gloved by Dallas Mickey and another walk, Carlito had runners on second and third with two out. The next batter hot a shot to deep RF which was caught by Larry Pagano to end the inning.

The GAB got a runner on in the 5th but failed to score. Dallas came on to pitch, giving up one in the 5th and two in the 6th to put the GAB in a 6-1 hole. After going down in order in the top of the 6th the GAB got two runners on in the top of the 7th when Larry Pagano led off with a basehit and Carlito drew a walk. But the trio of Buddha, Ron and Dallas went K, 4-3, K to end the game. For the record, the PRBAHS team was coached by former Brewer, White Sox, Dodger, and Met Jose Valentin.
