Teddy was dominant on his return to the mound and the North Buffalo "Green Machine" played a fine game, but ultimately lost to the Sandlot Stars, 7-3. North Buffalon was down and roared back to a 3-2 lead before a tough rally by Sandlot in the bottom of the 5th put the game out of reach. Several defensive snafus led to a 4 run onslaught that could not be held off. The 7-3 outcome was not an indication of the close game we witnessed on the field.
The pitching and hitting stood out with the NB team proving it can both manufacture runs with the bunt and hit for power as well. The pitching was excellent and on any other day the defense holds up behind it for a better outcome. This is pool play, so we did not go deep into our rotation. The next rounds will be a different story.
