TAMPA- There would be no heartbreaking error this time or a shutout. Finally there was a victory and the Breaker Division's last winless team has a 'W'.
Dominating in all facets of the game, Drunk Again And Looking To Score defeated the Seminoles 3-2, for the DAALTS first victory.
The DAALTS (1-6-0-0) could have fallen in the bottom of the 5th. But catcher Aron Sullivan crushed any hopes of a Seminoles (1-4-0-1) rally. Sullivan showed off his athletic ability, collecting a man-bunt and taking advantage of the Seminoles' strategic mistake all evening.
"Before the game, we were all surprised they wanted the man-bunt in play," captain James Falcon said. "But, we knew our team speed was our advantage. Really, it was poor scouting and maybe arrogance on their part. That doesn't matter though because we had Sullivan."
Falcon had a splendid pitching performance, limiting the Seminoles to two runs and keeping them off balance all evening. He also scored the second run in the top of the 1st. Sullivan had a run and RBI, as his sacrifice scored Ladd Warwick and provided the winning margin.
University of Florida graduate and left fielder Bob Marinelli was understandably emotional leading to Tuesday's game. His single scored Falcon and Marinelli's reddened eyes following the proceedings revealed a man struck by the significance of the occasion. He credited Relocators' captain, The Sensei, for mentoring him and providing focus before the game. In a post game press conference Marinelli simply said, "The more respect you give, the more respect you receive."
As was typical of their namesake university, the Seminoles could not challenge, scoring in the 1st and 4th. Even their attempt at drinking and music was overshadowed by the DAALTS party ball, pong table, and blasting sound system.
"We were better in everything tonight," first baseman Tyler Murrell said as he took a celebratory sip out of a glass boot. "We got to keep it going now."
Next week DAALTS meets Where My Pitches At on Field B at 7pm.
