CORE Institute - 17 NW Physical Therapy - 12

CORE Institute began our spring Saturday league campaign with a 17-12 win over the talented Northwest Physical Therapy squad. CORE overcame too many defensive lapses in the field to get the victory. Hats off to winning pitcher, Michael Sullivan and catcher, Wes Mason, an impressive battery for CORE. Defensively, the star of the game was Dorothy Mazur at 2B. Dorothy had a fantastic game to include making stunning back-to-back plays in the third inning that excited the spectators. CORE had an impressive offensive effort to start the season. Lead off hitter, Jay Schirpke, had a team high 5 RBI’s in his 3-4 day at the plate that included two HR’s, to include a grand slam. Perfect at the plate was Rover and Team Manager, Greg Roehm, who had 4 RBI’s with two extra base hits. Substitute player, Dick Nunez, was also perfect at the plate with a 3-3 day. Craig Wagner, Barney Armstrong (Sub), and Chuck Gibson also collected 3 base hits. Special thanks to our substitute players, Gale Hiser, Dorothy Mazur, Dick Nunez and Barney Armstrong. Thanks to Eileen Figueroa for keeping the team hitting statistics.

Northwest PT couldn't keep up with the hot Core Institute team today. Northwest hitting was led by Rob Carey who hit for the cycle today; he started with a double, then hit one out of the park, he had a single, then finished the day with a triple. Great game Rob.
