Squires start hot, hold off Tornadoes
On a picture-perfect day in Griffith Park, the LA Squires kicked off their contest against the Topanga Tornadoes with a 6-run first inning, and never looked back. Good pitching and solid defense allowed the Squires to keep the Tornadoes on the back foot early, and then the game turned into a fantastic pitching duel. Greg Frey of the Tornadoes was brought in to pitch in the 6th inning, and he subsequently shut down the Squires' offense. The Squires used pitching-by-commitee to stymie the Tornadoes' bats, using Jason Piombetti, Jimmy Brettl, and Jonathan Lane. Despite a few ugly defensive lapses from both squads, this was a very well-played baseball game.
