With 2 Games to Go the Caps Still Control their own Destiny

The Caps got a big win on Tuesday against Heritage.  Broughton won the slugfest 14-10 on a hot muggy night.  With every starter getting at least one hit the Caps put themselves back in the driver seat to get into the State Playoffs.  With a win tonight and another win on Monday the worst they can do is end up in a tie with Heritage.  If that happens a one game playoff will be held to fill the last State Playoff spot.

A 40 min lightning delay and hot muggy conditions put a strain on both pitching staffs Tuesday night but the Caps bats picked up the slack.  Jr. Max Magallanes led the team going 3-4 (2 Runs). Jr. Joe Bialkowski (2-5 2B RBI), Soph Rob Case (2-5 RBI), Jr. Wilson White (1-2 RBI), Jr. Austin Walker (1-3 RBI 3 Runs), Jr. Maclin Bathelor (1-4 2 RBIs), Jr Jackson Williams (1-2 RBI), Fr. Dom Ford (1-5 2 RBIs) and Sr. Zi Hopkins (1-5 RBI)

The Caps next game will be at Wakefield on Friday night 7:00pm- Come support the Caps!!!!
