Rams Post Convincing Victory Against Allies

For Austin Jones and Arley Anderson, tonight's game against the Arvada Allies is the stuff that big league dreams are made of. Anderson's game included a fantastic grab at second base, his second single of the season, and a successful debut as the Rams' closing pitcher. For Jones, it was all about his bat: The slugger smashed two doubles and a single, and scored every time he came to the plate.

Every Rams player had at least one hit or scored a run for the team. The game saw the team batting around the order in two separate innings, and plating 9 runs in the first, 2 runs in the second, and 8 runs in the third. Notable hits include a singles by outfielders Ben McHugh and Garrett Anderson.

Pitcher Wyatt Featherston turned in a strong performance throwing the ball hard and not allowing a single hit in two innings of play. Arley Anderson closed out the game in the third inning, preserving the 19-1 victory.

Coach Scott Staley congratulated the team on a win, and said the kids did a great job maintaining their focus despite the lopsided score. "These games are tough, because you have to keep your mind on the game at all times. Any team can put up 9 or 10 runs in an inning. You always have to be alert."

Special recognition goes to Ben Boyd, who due to heavy traffic didn't make it to the game until the team had batted around the order. But Ben stayed with the team on the bench and cheered his teammates on to a win. Now that's teamwork!
