Smaller Train

Its hard to come up with a clever name when both teams are trains. But the Big Train weren't so big on Saturday as they got destroyed 12-4. The Express were hitting from the first batter of the game as they scored 2 in the 1st, 4 in the 2nd, 1 in the 3rd, and 2 more in the 4th inning. And at the end of the 4th, Bethesda was trailing 8-0. Patrick Keane was roughed up in the only 1.2 innings he pitched as he allowed 4 earned runs. Josh Schneider came in to get the final out of the 2nd, but was beaten up for 3 runs in the other 2 innings he pitched allowing a homerun to left field off the bat of Carlos Saade in the 3rd inning. Rockville went scoreless in the 5th, just to score 4 more in the 6th off of Bethesda's Tucker Donahue (Senior, Stetson). Martin Agosta and Mike Aldrete cleaned up the last 1/3 of the game allowing 0 runs and only one hit. Bethesda's offense continues to struggle but Michael Bass played well Saturday batting 2-5 with a double, stolen base, and 2 RBI. Sophomore Hunter Renfroe from Mississippi State debuted Saturday. He went 0-4, but every out was in play and hit hard (VIDEO). Remarkably, the Big Train lead the league in hits so far this season. Rockville's top 1/3 of their lineup was stellar, combining for 8 hits, 6 runs, 5 RBI, and 2 walks. What seemed like and easy win turned into a blowout. Bethesda plays Herndon later today to try to snap their worst losing streak of the season! 2 games!
