Folsom 19, Fair Oaks 6 (League: 2-1, Overall: 2-2) - June 2 @ Folsom High - If the
cold, windy conditions were any indication, Fair Oaks should have known bad things
were afoot as they took the field at the new Folsom High School campus.
Fortunately for the Oaks, this was a non-league game, as
the Folsom Flames drubbed Post 383 19-6 to drop the Oaks' overall record to
2-2.
Folsom led 12-0 after two innings with the Oaks' only
baserunner coming on an error in the second. A leadoff hit by designated hitter Alex
Graham in the third gave Post 383 some hope, but three straight outs followed and
Folsom came back for another pair of runs to take a 14-0 lead at the end of three.
Ross Elmendorf replaced Eric Battenberg on the mound with one out in the third.
Battenberg had come in to replace starter Jake Jerue with two out in the second.
Elmendorf got the first batter he faced to pop to second and then struck out the next
batter to end the inning.
Fair Oaks finally got on the board in the top of the fourth
as catcher Doug Matlack led off with a walk. #20 (NOTE: We are
without a roster name for #20 - it will be filled in later). hit a ball to
second with no play being made, and then center fielder Ryan Mink got a hit to center
to load the bases. Third baseman Joe Liebman's hit to right scored both Matlack and
#20 to make it a 14-2 game.
Folsom came back with two more runs in the bottom of the
fourth, but the Oaks responded with four runs in the fifth to make it a 16-6 game. Left
fielder John Perkins led off with a double to left, followed by walks to Matlack and
Todd Jennings to load the bases. With one out, Joe Caffrey walked to force in Perkins
and then a double by Nic DeRose to left brought home Matlack, Jennings and Caffrey
to make it 16-6. De Rose was out trying to stretch the double into a three-bagger.
Walks to Alex Graham and #20 followed, but the Oaks couldn't bring home another
run.
Folsom scored twice more in the fifth off new Oaks' pitcher
Jeff Williams and added a run in the sixth for the final 19-6 margin.
