On Tuesday, the Rookies opened play with a doubleheader at Mt. Vernon
against St. Phillips. The opposition came out with 3 in the first and
that was about it. Rookies scored 5 runs every inning while en route to a
20-4 win in 4 innings. For second time this season every Rookie scored!
Game 2 vs Vincennes was a different story. Rookies came out
with an 8-1 lead. Hitting carried over from the first game with Hunt,
Anglin, Fuller all crushing shots to the fence. Defense had
several highlights. Watson had a 3 run saving line drive catch in RF.
Wells fielded a shot that caromed off of Lashley's glove for an out at
first. Williams caught one in LC and Anglin stopped a one-hop shot.
Gilmour played a shot off his foot and made the play at first. Left side
of the infield (Fuller and Hunt) both took one for their teammates when
they needed it most as Vincennes closed to a final score of 8-6.
Rookies were at it again Friday night playing South Gibson Predators.
Rookies won 15-1 in 4 innings. Anglin and Williams caught fly balls in
the OF. Infield played strong led by Gilmour up the middle. Everybody
hit for the Rookies. Watson had a nice line drive down the RF line for a
stand up triple.
Rookies began double elimination play Saturday vs Mt. Vernon winning
10-0 in 5 innings. Too much excellence to point out. All kids were
firing on all cylinders. It was a great team effort all around to take
down a spirited Mt.Vernon team decisively on their own field.
Game 2, winner's bracket game vs West Terrace ended in another 10-0 game in 5 innings. Each time they reached base, Rookies D tightened up and took control. Watson had 2 putouts from right, Gilmour threw to a ghost man at 2nd until Wells flew in and rolled it for a double play. Hunt played a carom off of Fuller, deep in the hole, and gunned the runner at first. Fuller, Lashley, and Hunt all took one for the team and turned them into 2 outs. Anglin and Hunt both had triples. Christie had the game winning, 2 RBI hit and scored a $20 bill for doing so. Wells has surfaced as the team's newest vocal leader. Keep it up boys!

Rookies squared off with Vincennes for Mt. Vernon's Riverbend Bash and
came out on top with 12-3 win. Rookies ran their unbeaten at Mt. Vernon
to 13-0 (where this team first played). 2 triples for Watson, 2 triples
for Hunt, 1 triple for Anglin. Home run for "Bangin' Anglin also. 2 out
rally started by Kuebler who's hustle beat the tag out at 3rd by an
inch. Next up was Watson's bases emptying triple. Every Rookie had a
hit. Sticks came out big!
On defense, Hunt to Wells to Lashley DOUBLE PLAY. Landon "show 'em the ball" Wells line drive catch and throw to Lashley at first for a DP. Watson catch in RF, throw to first not in time, then Lashley throw to Fuller at third for a DP. OF with Anglin, Williams, Kuebler, Webb, and Watson played strong keeping Vincennes to one double and nothing more than a single. Caige "Give me another $20" Christie ended the game with a diving catch into the back stop! We finished the night off celebrating at Buffalo Wild Wings!
