Sat, 3 May, 4:00PM, at Brighton - Cassidy (CCircle)
DBacks 3, Curtin's Rockies 1
A great game...yes, a slugfest...no.
The D'Backs jumped to an early lead in the 1st on a Jeff Cain single scoring Tommy Bligh. The Rockies tied it in the 4th on a single by the 2nd baseman Clark scoring Mike Close. The D'Backs opened it up in the 6th on a clutch hit by Brian Kilpatrick scoring Leigh Zancewicz and Bill Schellbach. Greg O'Keeffe shut the Rockies down in the 7th after loading the bases.
O'Keeffe pitched a solid 7 innings against his former mates giving up only 1 earned run, 5 hits and striking out 7 for the D'Backs.
Cooper, Close, and Kennedy combined for a 4 hitter for the Rockies in the losing effort. Overall, both of these teams had a lot of fun and played extremely well considering how early in the season it is. |
