WEATHER HOT, BIG TRAIN NOT; FALL TO EXPRESS, 5-1
Box Score
It was a hot, steamy, 100 degree Tuesday afternoon at Knight's Field in Rockville. You began to feel it might not be Bethesda's day in the bottom of the second when the Express took a 3-0 lead on one bloop single (walk, fielder's choice (and safe at second), sacrifice bunt, hit-by-pitch, E-6, sacrifice fly, bloop single = 3-0 Express). The Express extended its lead in the fourth with a bunt single, stolen base, walk, and another bloop single. In the fifth, there was nothing bloop about lead-off hitter Eric Oliver (Orange Coast)'s home run. The Big Train had its chances, out-hitting the Express 9 to 6 but leaving a dozen runners stranded, including men on second and third in the third, sixth, and ninth innings. The lone Bethesda tally came in the ninth when Adam Plummer (Pitt-Johnstown) led-off with a double and scored on a single by Adam Redd (Virginia Tech).
