I found out that in a Roy Hobbs tournament the 5th game you play a team with identical record and then get seeded for the single elimination playoffs. So today we played the Toledo, Ohio Outlaws. Since we already have a win and qualified for the playoffs, this game would only help our seeding potential, I didnt want to exhaust any pitchers and if we got the win our seed would improve. We started with Jimmy Tesoriero on the bump who controlled his 3 innings throwing 50 pitches striking out 1 and giving up 1 run. Next John Weber pitched his 3 innings in 39 pitches, striking out one and giving up one run. And last our Jimmy Preller pitches his 3 innings in 60 pitches, striking out one and also giving up 1 run. Our hitting is still on fire with Tim Burns, Steve Schaefer and John Cortese have multiple hits with Jim Bradley hitting it the fence again with a stand up double. Albany Capitals 10 Toledo Outlaws 3! Tomorrow we get a day of rest and at the Roy Hobbs Players Party we will find out our seed for the Friday morning game. I feel that all my pitchers will be fresh and ready and even though this marathon week takes its toll on our bodies, the team is still hungry for another win.
