Bulldogs – 14
Or Lady Of Grace – 2
On a great night for baseball, the young travel dogs of RGMVM were on the prowl at Marine Park in Brooklyn for another match up with the Grace All - Stars. The Bulldogs would hand the ball over to young flame-thrower Chris "Big Dog" Piteo, who would unleash a barrage of heaters keeping the opposing offense off-balance. The Dog pound would unleash their offense with a frenzy of hits over first three innings to break the game open. The Doggies broke out the new team bat (straight from the box) that was quickly handed down from batter to batter. The new bat was nicknamed the “The Brooklyn Equalizer”. Doing the damage for the Dog Pound were heavy hitters. Chris Piteo (3-3, Double, Triple, Home-Run) John Codelia (2-3, Home-Run) Mike Guglielmi (3-3, Double, Home-Run) Brett Buser (3-3, Double) Matt Fox (2-3, Double) Robbie Hofmann (1-2, Double) Bryan Torres (2-3, Double) The doggie defense would get into the act with swift infield defense by Robbie Hofmann, Bryan Torres, Brandon Acosta. The defensive play of the game came from catcher Mike Guglielmi, who turned an astonishing double play on a squeeze bunt attempt in the fourth to help close out the game. Not to be lost in the game was the gutsy performance by Matt Fox who battled through an early injury and came back to close the game out on the mound in dramatic fashion. Woof.. Woof. Go Bulldogs...
