TEAM RISP- Rumrunners: 11 for 17 Silver Sluggers: 1 for 8
John Romano had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Savannah Rumrunners clobbered the
outmatched Sterling Silver Sluggers, 17 to 6.
Romano was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day
at their team's expense. He ripped a one-base hit scoring a run in the 1st
inning, laced a base-knock plating a run in the 3rd inning, stroked a
base-hit in the 4th inning and cracked a solo homerun in the 8th inning.
Savannah kept the scorekeepers busy in the 3rd inning which saw them plate 6
runs on 6 hits. Savannah kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they
scored in 6 different innings.
Mike Fornieles(4-4) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing
no runs. Curt Simmons(7-8) absorbed the loss. He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 11 hits and 2 walks in 3 innings.
