Fungoes at FFTs

Fungoes 4, FFTs 0

Fungoes played four at FFTland today winning all four. Christmas in July?

Here are the high(low)-lights.

Game one:

Fungoes 9
FFTs 5

Nelson Cruz ripped 2 (ballpark) homeruns (1-3) and had 4 RBI at Qualcomm Stadium as the
FUNGOES beat the FFT'S 9 to 5.
Cruz was unconscious all evening. The FFT faithful hated to see him approaching
the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He doubled in the 2nd
inning, bombed a two-run dinger in the 5th inning and cleared the fences for
a two-run home run in the 9th inning. The FUNGOES kept the pressure on throughout
the contest as they scored in 6 different innings.
David Price got the win allowing 4 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings. Tim
Stauffer gained credit for his 5th save. Jered Weaver was the loser.
He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings.
'The ball was jumping off my bat' Cruz said. 'I didn't do anything
differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'

Game two:

Fungoes 9
FFTs 7

The FUNGOES got by the FFT'S at Qualcomm Stadium. The final score
was 9 to 7.
Lance Berkman was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a
fine day at their team's expense. He tripled with all three baserunners
touching home in the 3rd inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in
the 7th inning. Ernesto Frieri was perfect in relief and got the save, his
22nd.
David Robertson went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. Matt
Belisle was hit with the loss in relief. He surrendered 4 hits and no
walks in 2 innings.

Game three:

Fungoes 7
FFTs 4

In a good matchup it was the FUNGOES 7, the FFT'S 4 at Qualcomm
Stadium.
In the top of the 5th inning the Fungoes scored 4 runs when they came up with 3 base
hits. The big moment was provided by Ryan Zimmerman who disappointed the
partisan crowd when he doubled which was good for two runs. The Fungoes had 11
hits for the game while the FFTs had 8.
Jon Garland was the winner allowing 4 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. Joel
Zumaya was credited with his 1st save. James McDonald absorbed the
loss. The Fungoes knocked him around a bit, as he gave up 5 runs in 4 and 2/3
innings.

Game four:

Fungoes 12
FFTs 6

Shortstop Ramon Santiago slammed a homerun and had 5 RBI at Qualcomm Stadium
where the FUNGOES beat the FFT'S 12 to 6.
Santiago had a big day against the FFTs. He cleared the fences for a two-run
home run in the 2nd inning, laced a base-hit resulting in a run in the 5th
inning and lined a single scoring two baserunners in the 9th inning.
The FFTs were out-hit by the Fungi, 16 hits to 12.
Rick Porcello got the win allowing 6 runs in 6 innings. David Robertson
was credited with his 1st save. Stephen Strasburg was given the loss.
He allowed 8 hits and 5 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.

Fungo batters were mashing the baseball.....my apologies Terry!
