POK-O DROPS ANOTHER PAIR
In what has become a rough week, in terms of results, Pok-O-MacCready dropped two more games to Camp Lincoln Thursday afternoon. However, with great action, great weather and fine playing, the day proved that results aren’t everything.
In the younger game, played at home, Lincoln again took a big early 5-0 lead, but Pok-O played them even the rest of the way to drop an 8-2 decision. Highlights included a pair of hits by Evan Greenwald; the shutout relief pitching from Zachary Lynch, and some outstanding defensive plays, most notable from Matt Shayne and Doug Fisher. “We had much better defense and offense then the first game, but the better team still won,” said Fisher.
In the older game at Lincoln, Pok-O took a 1-0 lead then, in the words of one player “we collapsed!” Lincoln took the contest by a score of 6-2. Bright moments for Pok-O included hits by Brad Paulette and Geoff Livsey, the relief pitching from Mark Balderston and a strange double play started by center fielder Alex Sieger.
If nothing else, the week of inter-camp baseball was about participation and experience. “I’m not very good,” said Rudy Peugeot, from France. “This is the first time I played and I love basbeall!”
