On a glorious February day, the new Old Reds went to a whopping 2 and 0 for the first time in team history with a 12-10 victory over the A;s at Seminole High School! It was a balanced attack, 14 hits spread out over 10 players, and the pitching troika of Mike Grenci, Mark Pacich and Jeff Shebovsky were very effective. But things got interesting in the bottom of the 9th. The OR's went into the final frame with a comfy 12-6 lead, but watched that dwindle to 12-10 with the tying runs on, before the last out was safely tucked away in shortstop Anthony Kazmierczyk's glove. 

Great win, lots of fun hanging with you guys. Individual props go to Rich Fuentes, who had three more hits to continue his torrid start, Vern Ramassar on with an RBI single, a walk and a HBP. Ed Ribiera added to his all-time record by getting hit twice again(!) Jeff Shebovsky had a single and a double. Ed Brady and Eric Echevarria had a pair of knocks and an RBI each. 

Eric also got defensive play of the day honors, grabbing a tough pop behind the plate. But Player of the Game has to go to Hall of Famer Mike Grenci, who returned after sitting out the fall to twirl 3 perfect innings to start the game, ending up with 4 IP, 0 ER and 5 K's. Welcome back Mike! 

The full schedule should be out in a day or so, but we can count on the next game at 9 AM at South Orange, Sunday, March 1. Hope to see everyone there shortly after 8 AM for our game with the Blazers
