The Ringers needed to get back on track. With the trade deadline approaching, it was either get back to winning or cut some salary. The Wet Bandits can be a tough opponent, but proved no match for the Sons of Monty.
The lefty was on the hill last night. Noyes doesn't see eye to eye with the "Little Ump", but battled through 5 innings of 4 run ball. Dodging a big jam in the 2nd after loading the bases on a few walks, the Golden Boy made a heads up play getting a runner who disrespected the game and took a GT at 3rd. Such a huge play, Noyes gets out of it.
Sully hit a bomb to get us up 3-2, and never relinquished the lead. TC broke out of his slump as we took a little BP before the game started. Two Big Hit Baby's on the day, he was all smiles after the game, I am glad, I like him.
Great Defense on the left side of the Diamond, Sully covers a lot of popup ground and MBags proved to be a wall at 3rd. GBags goes 3 for 3 with some nice rips (literally and figuritively). Solid D and the bats woke up at the end of the game.
Noyes got into a jam in the 5th, he wanted out before that, Sully said one more walk, then Noyes gave himself 2, walked 2 in the 5th and Monty went to the pen. That ump and I have our issues, but got out of the 5th giving up 2, then a perfect 6th and 7th for the save.
All in all, Noyes got us deep into the game with the lead, bats woke up, solid D, and first place.
When you see the guy above, welcome him back and tell him you missed his witty comments and center field pokes.
In the stands: Amy Rossi Norris, Liz "Miller Lite" Seppa, "Eddy", Boonton's glove
15-3, clinched and first seed in our sights
what's the Triple Crown race look like?
