May 1st - Highbridge Park - Field 1


It was a different outcome on this day but not the on the Mighty Dukes expected. After a humiliating defeat, The Mighty Dukes did not lose their next game but they didn't win it either managing to tie the boys from P.S. 173, 6-6. Even though the boys from 4 did score the winning run, the run was scored on an out while time ran out on the game. While the outcome was not a win, it was seen as a positive step towards reaching the ultimate goal of winning the Turn 2 Us championship because the boys of 4 played alot better.
The Captain, Ramon Mora contributed greatly to the tie not only by playing third but by coming in to relieve Jonathan Mejia. His gutsy performance cemented his status as a leader among his teammates!

Catcher Christian Sepulveda played an excellent game defensively by manning the backstop, working with his pitching staff and helping the infielders make the right plays.

Shortstop Adrian Rosario also chipped in with some base knocks.
But probably the most important play of the day was when Outfielder Cassey Mendes was able to move two runners over by hitting a groundball to the pitcher.
All in all it was a good game and showed to the other teams in the league that The Mighty Dukes are a force to be reckoned with.
