Astros

The Astros continue their torrid pace with the bats and strong pitching and subdued the Rockies on Wednesday night in the semi-finals, 13 - 2. Excellent pitching by Mark Robichau for 4 innings and a closing inning by Dylan Hickey. Dylan also got a game ending double off the wall in center field that drove in 3 runs to end the game in the 5th inning. Excellent efforts by the TEAM again with the end of the lineup getting on base 2 of 3 times each to help pave the way. Thats the way to go, Ben McMullin, Harrison Muecke and Mike Whitmeyer. Chris St.Aubin made plays for all 3 outs in the 5th inning by the Rockies to subdue any final threat by fielding a bullet hit by Clay Stephens and then getting a inning ending ground ball tag the runner throw to 1st double play. We look forward to an excellent game vs the Marlins in the Finals of the Fall season on Thursday night at 7:00pm. I have included the writeup by the Marlins on their home page for reference to our game with the Rockies. Astros finish Rockies 13-2 in 5. Mark Robicheau pitched 4 strong innings, and a combination of the dominant Astros bats and some hardluck Rockies fielding resulted in a convincing 13-2 Astro win in 5 innings on Wednesday night at K.C. field in beautiful Bayland Park. This means that the Kyle Chapman Fall Tournament final game is now set: the first seeded 14-3-1 Marlins will host the second seeded 13-4-1 Astros on Thursday night 11/21 at 7:00 p.m. While both coaches remain mum about their starting pitchers, it is possible that Thursday night's game will feature a mano-a-mano battle between 14 year old K.C. tournament pitchers Karl Pringle for the Astros and Daniel Rothenberg for the Marlins. While the Marlins will be the home team by virtue of their better regular season record, the Astros won the season series with the Marlins 2-1 on their convincing 12-2 rout of the Marlins less than two weeks ago. The game promises to be an excellent one. We look forward to seeing you out there.
