Thursday the Mustangs dropped to the Warriors of Willowbrook high school 4-2 with the Warriors scoring all four of their runs in the last two innings. The Mustangs scored one run in the second and third innings but were not able to score past that.
Andrew Alfini pitched six innings with four strikeouts and a 1.00 WHIP. The Mustang’s defense gave up four errors while Willowbrook gave none. Even though the Stangs outhit the Warriors 9-6 they could not clutch it out in the end.
Tuesday’s game was a better show for the Mustangs with a two-RBI home run from Jack Blazevich the Mustangs were able to hold on to the victory 4-2 against the Willowbrook Warriors. The beautiful, but windy day caused a lot of big hits over the outfielder’s heads and many plays in the outfield that made you hold your breath.
Nick Stacey pitched the entire game and gave up only two runs with four strikeouts. It was a great win for Stacey, but he also received some offensive help from Jake Pileggi, 2 for 3 with one RBI, and Blazevich, one for three with a two-run home run.
Two double plays for Mustangs in the first two innings silenced the Warriors to no runs until the fourth. Due to the wind blowing out during the game, there were many plays in the outfield as well. Each outfield position for the Mustangs received at least three fly balls.
