The Od Reds jumped out to a 5-0 lead, and held on for a 5-4 win against the previously undefeated Blazers Sunday morning at Ocoee. Jose Arroyo returned to action on the mound and proceeded to toss a gem, holding the formidable Blazer offense to three hits over 6 innings. Mike Grenci came on to hold it for the save, despite some hack kicking a tailor-made double play ball, allowing a couple of unearned runs to score. Craig Feeney hit a 2-run bomb into the parking lot, and Luis Vega, Jeff Albertson and rookie Angel Perez had a couple of hits apiece to lead the offense. The OR's always try and make it interesting, and ended up winning the game in the bottom of the 9th wdespite the Blazers putting the tying run on third and the winning run on second. But a win is a win, and this one was a great one in the short history of the Old Reds, a win against a playoff team, and one that had run through 5 undefeated games before this one. Next up are the Dodgers, and the hope is that we can keep up a little momentum and make this season an interesting one. This Sunday the 30th is a bye week for the OR's, so we look forward to seeing everyone out there at the field in Ocoee in a couple of weeks, 12:30 start time.
