The Black and Red remained the only undefeated team in the S.L.A.M. League, last week, after extending their perfect record to 3-0 with a thorough 16-6 victory over Polshek Partnership at Central Park's Hecksher Field 1, on Thursday.
J. Strong was a perfect 4-for-4 with a double, 1 RBI, and 3 runs scored; Cate Foster went 3-for-4 with 1 RBI; and pitcher Juan Monahan led the way for Pei Cobb Freed/Hart Howerton, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, 2 runs, and 7 RBI. Carlos Sagastume (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) and Mike Copeland (1-for-1, 3 walks, 3 runs, 2 RBI) also homered for PCF/HH
Monahan and Yusuke Okabayashi (1-for-2) hit consecutive 2-RBI doubles in the first and Copeland's 2-run home run extended the lead to 6-2 in the second. PCF/HH extended their lead to 8-2 before the end of the inning on an RBI triple by Mark Maljanian (2-for-3, 1 walk, 3 runs scored), who currently leads the team in extra-base hits with 4.
The Black and Red jumped out of the gate in the third, extending the lead to 10-2 off a double by Sagastume, an RBI triple by Dwidson Metayer (1-for-2) and an RBI single by Foster. But Polshek showed they weren't going to go down easily in the bottom of the inning, as centerfielder Loren Supp hammered a 3-run home run that landed in the batter's box of the opposite field — part of a 4-run inning for the home team.
Seeing the lead narrowed to 10-6 did nothing to shake PCF/HH, as the team added 2 runs in the fourth, 1 in the fifth, and 3 more in the sixth, while surrendering only 4 total hits to their opponent over the final three innings.
The loss bumped Polshek's record to 1-2.
Weather permitting, The Black and Red will look to extend their streak tomorrow evening against an always-tough FXFowle team. At 3-1, FXFowle has outscored their opponents 26-10 in their first four games of the year. Game time is 5:30 p.m. on Central Park's North Meadow, Field 11.
