The Old Reds came storming out of the league basement to sweep a doubleheader Sunday at Blue Jacket Park. Mike Grenci went the rout in the opening game victory over the Nationals 8-4, and Jose Taveras survived some shaky defense to hold for the complete game victory in the 2nd game, 10-9 over the South Lake Rays.

The cozy confines of Blue Jacket gave up 3 Old Red dingers on the day. Rob Davis, with what he described as his first ever home run, and Jose Taveras hit home runs in the opener, and Craig Feeney added a bomb that would have been out of anywhere in the nightcap.

Ed Rubiera continued his remarkable year, leading the team in OBP by 100 points, yet still only having 2 hits...(12 walks and 5 more HBP to add to his league record total)Rick Piotrowski was 2-3 in the opener, Jeff Albertson had 4 hits on the day, Tim Albertson drove in what proved to be the game winning runs in game 1, Lino Rivera had a beautiful, running catch and a couple of hits on the day, John Kovalick caught the whole 2nd game, for the 2nd time in 3 games, was the catcher of record during an Old Reds win. Fidel Garcia survived a late night, and despite showing up late, made some fine plays and had a couple of big hits, before the Yovani Gallardo syndrome kicked in...

Great wins boys, next game is this Sunday the 28th at 9 AM at Bear Creek against the Nationals. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
