Game one against the CenCal Outlaws was well played by both teams as Vince Leon and Todd Porter combined to pitch and win a 6-4 game.
Vince kept our squad within striking distance as he pitched 4 solid innings with 2 strikeouts and only 2 walks. CenCal jumped up early and scored two quick runs in the bottom of the first but that was all Vince would give up as he held 'em down by throwing strikes and picking off runners.
Down 2-1 going into the 5th we got what we needed. A couple of walks, a mad bunt by CK Toribio, a balk, an RBI from Jelani Davis capped off with a 2 run single by Jordan Barnum and our Hurricanes go up for good.
CenCal did mange to scare us as they made a bit of a comeback when they were able to load the bases in the bottom of the 6th only to hit a ground ball to Jordan who made a wonderful game clinching force to seal the victory.
Defense and holding runners was key to this game. Although we did not hit well, we made some excellent plays in the field to hold off a tough CenCal team.
