Bombers reach down deep, Streak Ends at Five
The Yankees came into Monday`s game carrying some heavy baggage, in the form of a five game losing streak. The Yankees knew that the season could be lost if they didn`t respond and start playing the kind of ball that they are capable of. The heavily touted Yankee defense had faultered of late, but returned to its true form as the laid seige to the Ranger offense. Team captains; Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis and Andrei (The Big Cat) Buado led the way. Buado fired his cannon throwing out two potential base stealers and Meniatis laying out, with reckless abandon, snaring line drives and recording the outs. (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin took a basehit away at a critical time in the game and ended a Ranger rally. Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano, Parker (The Real Deal) True and Scotty (Happy) Gilmore also made outstanding grabs in the outfield. Yankee starter Charles (Nails) Godtfredsen set the pace on the mound allowing only one hit in 3 innings of work. Jordan (Panda) Susbilla and "The Big Easy" worked the final three innings, shutting the door on any comeback attempt from the Rangers. The Yankees were led offensively by Anthony (The Big Easy) Lozano who went 3-4, lining a double of the center field wall. Parker (The Real Deal) True laid down a text book bunt and Jake (The Snake) Peralta and Andrei (The Big Cat) Buado added singles to help the cause. The Yankees also did the little things that help a team be successful. Spencer (The Road Runer) Floyd was in position, as always, with surperb backup coverage in the outfield. Tristan (Brave Heart) George put a ball in play, scoring the runner from third, and Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell beat out a dropped third strike and hustled down the line, causing an error.
Defensive Gem of the Game: Chase (The Mighty) Meniatis, diving catch at third, throwing runner out from his knees
Hustle Play of the Game: Hayden (The Hammer) Mitchell, beating out dropped third strike
Player of the Game: (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin, Mr. Everything
The Yankees Organization would like to throw out a special thanks to (Joltin`) Jacob Rosin. Jacob`s versatility on defense is a valuable asset for the Yankees. He can play anywhere on the field and is one of the Bombers most dangerous hitters.
