CYLONES BREAK OUT THE HEAVY LUMBER IN POOL PLAY
THE CYCLONES BANGED OUT 13 HITS, TAKING JUST 3 INNINGS TO BEAT THE STL SHOCK IN THE OPENING POOL GAME OF THE RAWLINGS INVITATIONAL TOURNEY AT CVAC.
THE 16-1 FINAL SCORE WAS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE MOMENTUM BUILDING THAT WAS STARTED IN THE SECOND INNING. SOUND DEFENSE BEHIND GEORGE'S PITCHING LIMITED THE SHOCK TO A SINGLE RUN, STRANDING 3 SHOCK RUNNERS.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE GAME MAY HAVE BEEN THE BACK-TO-BACK BEAN-BALLS. CHANCE AND MILLER BOTH TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM, EARNING EXTRA RBI'S IN REWARD.
THE SECOND POOL GAME IS FRIDAY EVENING AT 6:00, ON CVAC FIELD E2. A HEAVY TURNOUT IS EXPECTED, LIKELY TO BE STANDING ROOM ONLY. GET THERE EARLY TO GET A GOOD SEAT.
