Alex snags his first victory in 2009

Back from his holiday trip in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Alex is fresh and ready to go for his first victory. He did not disappoint by turning in a 4 inning solid performance and allowing only 3 earned runs.

The team backed him up by taking a 9-1 lead going into the 3rd inning, with Hongwei providing 2 hits and 2 RBI and Spidey contributing another 2 hits and 2 runs. Just as things get comfortable, the Combined Schools team fought back. They scored 5 runs at their last batting chance, staging a come back and a possible upset. The OBoyz team did not help themselves by committing 3 costly errors.

With the score 11-6 and 10 minutes to go before the end of the game, Hongwei proved once again that he belongs in the big stage by prolonging his at bat, fouling pitches after pitches away. Leo, from the Combined Schools team proved an equal match by delivering strike after strike before eventually walking Hongwei. That proved crucial and ended the game, giving OBoyz a perfect record of 4-0 in the league.


The OBoyz team went on to play ORA, trailing 7-1 in the 4th inning before it was called off due to heavy rain, no wait, that should be called a THUNDERSTORM!
