Cougars Win a Tight one against Averill Park

While everyone got off the bus on Wednesday, May 31st 2006, one thing was on everybody’s mind. Wiffleball. They all knew that they were in a close race in the division, and were ready to prove themselves at 3:30. It was the Cougars and the Sea Bass. A rematch of the Memorial Day matchup that had everyone on the edge of their seat. Mark Fitzpatrick took the hill for the Cougars and Steve Powers got the nod in the away dugout. Mark pitched three solid, with two k’s, but couldn’t get the job done, leaving with twelve runs against him. The Cougars pounced all over Powers, and chased him out, giving room for Jeremy Menard. Menard did well at the dish as well, hitting three big flies, and leaving the job up to the batters. The Sea Bass hitting was strong, as all their players contributed against Cy Young winner Scott Fitzpatrick. The game was now tied 21-21 in the bottom of the eighth. The Cougars were patient, bringing home four and putting in Mike Triscari to seal the deal. He struggled, but got the job done. It was messy, but he pitched well, fanning two batters.
So the Cougars won this battle by a final score of 25-23. Closer than they wanted, but still a good game.
