It was doubleheader day for the first time in Dunedin club
softball on Saturday and the big guns took the opportunity to
dominate.
Both the Saints and the Dodgers fired up their bats to hand
twin defeats to Ellis Park and the Cardinals.
Such was the one-sidedness of the four games played that in
just one, Ellis Park's 11-1 loss to the Dodgers, did a losing
side score a run.
The Dodgers backed that up with a 7-0 win against the
Cardinals, while the Saints crushed the Cardinals 16-0 and
blanked Ellis Park 10-0.
Two of the stars of the day were Ricky Boebel (Dodgers) and
Travis McIntosh (Saints).
Boebel batted 3-from-3 against Ellis Park, with two doubles
and a single.
He is also a promising pitcher and did some neat work behind
the plate to starting Dodgers pitcher Scott Cartwright and
relief pitcher Ben Watts.
The Dodgers scored four runs in the bottom of the second
inning and three in each of the third and fourth, with Tyron
Pelasio's run in the fourth the only time across the plate
for Ellis Park.
McIntosh achieved the rare feat of hitting two homers in the
same game when he belted a pair out of the park in the
Saints' 16-0 win against the Cardinals.
McIntosh's dingers came off Glenn Forrester in the bottom of
the second and off Joshua Ludlow in the bottom of the third.
Mike Wilson also hit a home run, Mike O'Neill added a triple
and Mike Crowley had a double as the powerful Saints scored
five, seven and four runs in the first three innings and did
not have to bat again.
The highlight of the Saints' 10-0 win against Ellis Park was
a six-run sixth inning that included a Tim Howard homer and
an RBI Crowley triple.
