A gem of a ballgame.

Fredericksburg, VA---June 4, 10005

|In one of the fastest baseball games of the season the Quantico Bulldogs defeated the Fredericksburg Seminoles by a score of 3-2 in only 1 hr. 35 min. The Bulldogs started things off in the first when Donovan Clements walked, then advanced to third on a Michael Brann double, hit into the left center gap. With runners now on 2^nd and 3^rd, Wandi Rodriguez came up to bat and hit a fly deep to right allowing Clements to tag and score from 3^rd giving the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead after the first. Ford, pitching in his first game took the mound for the Bulldogs, retiring the first 6 batters he faced. In the bottom part of the 3^rd the Seminoles lead off batter Nate Keranen was HBP, then advanced to third on a Tim Acors single. Ben Sutton then came up to bat and took an offering over the Bulldogs left fielder’s head for a double scoring 2. This gave the Seminoles a 2-1 lead after 3. Superior pitching and defense helped keep the game 2-1 until the top of the 7^th when Bulldogs 2^nd baseman Donovan Clements led off with a triple over the center fielder. Mike Brann then grounded out, forcing Clements to hold at 3^rd. Rodriguez then came up to bat and singled to score Clements and tie the game at 2. Steve Hall then stepped up and drove a double in the right center gap that scored Rodriguez and gave the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. Now with the lead, the Bulldogs brought in closer Chance Mistric, who pitched 3 scoreless while striking out 6 to give the Bulldogs the win.
