Live from Parent/Senior Day

On the mound for Marq: Robert Gregory. This is Robert's last game in uniform for Marquette. He is soon to be in a very different kind of uniform as he begins his journey to become a police officer and starts at the academy next week. We will miss Robert but wish him well in his noble chosen profession!


Great parent recognition with lots of tears from the senior's moms especially--and I detected a few from the Dad's under their strategically placed sunglasses. Coach Wilk emphasized that this DOES NOT mean the season is over: "Lots of baseball left to play." See slide show at left.
-----------------------------------------------------
1-0 Kewaskum aft 1.

Flip walks and Peterson singles to right.
-----------------------------------------------------
2-0 Kewaskum aft 2.

Gregory singles to left.
----------------------------------------------------
Still 2-0 aft 3.

Karhoff singles and Coon hits a sacrifice to move him to 2nd.

My car has a nice round "baseball shaped" surprise in my windshield on a one-bouncer to the parking lot from a foul ball by Gregory...Way to say good-bye Robert! :-) Anyone know the number to Glass Doctors? No one's fault but my own--I thought I was safe behind the corvettes!
----------------------------------------------------
3-0 Kewaskum aft 5. Sorry, I was distracted trying to find a windshield replacement company!
----------------------------------------------------
3-1 aft 6.

McShane scores on a Peterson sac, Tangney singles to center with Potter pinch running.

----------------------------------------------------
On the mound for Marq: Jason Bonfiglio. He makes all three outs in the top of the 7th including 2 strike outs.

Final 3-1 Kewaskum.
---------------------------------------------------
Good Luck Robert!

Live from the Tosa East Game

On the mound for Marq: Gino D'Amato.
0-0 aft 1.
----------------------------------------------------------
2-2 aft 2.

Bolles walks, Johnson hits a single. D'Amato lays out a perfect sac bunt to advance the runners. Bolles scores on a Tangney sac fly to right. Monfre walks and Mahler pinch runs and gets caught between 1st and 2nd trying to steal while Flip is up to bat. Johnson scored before Mahler was tagged out--2-2. Scoreboard not working tonight! :-( 


----------------------------------------------------------
Flip/McShane/Tangney double play action in the top of the 3rd.

Dean Weyer is walking around with his Coach Raff bobblehead that he won for guessing the attendance last week. Rumor has it it's a traveling trophy so stay tuned...

Shout out to the Weyer's for their great hospitality last night!

2-2 aft 3.
---------------------------------------------------------
3-2 Marq aft 4.

D'Amato singles and Potter steals 2nd pinch running for him. Tangney hits up the middle and is tagged out at 2nd after Potter scores.

---------------------------------------------------------
Anne Bolles tries to fire up the crowd in the bottom of the 5th by starting the wave...no takers!

Still 3-2 Marq aft 5.

Monfre walks, and Mahler runs for him. McShane reaches 1st on a fielder's choice with a controversial
call at second. Wilk pleads his case to no avail. Grad reaches on a blooper moving McShane.

"Yer Out"??? (Pic courtesy of A. Bolles)
---------------------------------------------------------
Good job by Marq's D for 3 up 3 down in the top of the 6th. D'Amato strikes out the opposing pitcher in 3 pitches. This blogger is desperately searching the keyboard symbols for a backwards K.
Still 3-2 aft 6.

Crazy 1/2 inning-- with Tosa East fans definitely NOT winning the Sportmanship award. Johnson singles to center on 2 outs. Steals second--and is called out but the 2nd baseman dropped the ball. Wilk plead his case and the infield ump asked home ump for a ruling. Call is reversed and Tosa East is called back out on D. They were very slow to move and their coach received a warning from the ump. Lots of disrespectful heckling by Tosa East parents and teen fans. They are really embarrassing themselves including a parent yelling at our players to be quiet in the dugout and teens making fun of our coaches. Class all around from Marq coaches, players and fans!
----------------------------------------------------------
Top of the 7th. Tosa East ties it up after 2 outs. We are happy to announce the return of the injured Collin Weyer who is brought out to pitch the 3rd out.
3-3 aft 6 1/2.

Marq wins 4-3 on a McShane beautiful line drive down the left field line for a double followed by a Grad sac fly to bring him to third and a Peterson hit to score McShane. Tosa fans strangely quiet :-).
