Impressive Sweep for the Stripes

It may have seemed like a tall mountain to climb when the Stripes arrived at beautiful Virginia Highlands Monday evening. The mountain: Caribbean Breeze, the Spring regular-season champs.
The Breeze certainly had their bats out in game 1, but the stripes never went away and when the dust cleared, the Stripes won 20-18.

The Second game was quite the different story, with the Stripes piling on the runs early (except for the first inning) and the Breeze making a late charge. Despite 5 runs in the bottom of the last inning, the Breeze fell short, 16-11.

Special mention to Jeff Donald for playing well at 3rd and Ed for pitching well -- he seemed to have the prolific Breeze bats at bay in game 2.

This impressive sweep should boost our standing in the league. Stats are posted and standings will be when the county posts them (likely Thursday). Look for Tom's more in-depth review (I'm sure) later in the week as well.

I'm sure that Ed would be the first to say that his catcher called a great game, due to his prodigious knowledge of the hitters in the Arlington softball C-2 Monday league...

Why isn't on base average posted? Stop being lazy.
