Game Summary
Richard Montgomery scored five runs in the last inning on just one hit as pitcher after pitcher for the Blazers walked home runs. It was a disgraceful performance from an under-acheiving team. Blair blew a 6-0 lead to a struggling Rocket team and the last inning looked like a bad Little League movie. Catcher Alex Egber led off the fourth inning with a solo homer to deep left-center field; his third of the year, to put us up 7-2 at the time, but we could never put the game away and RM came back late.
