Ryan Howard Battles On
With a late push, Our Town’s slugger pumped it up to seven to move into third place. He and his old youth coach did not find a groove, but he battled though.
Ryan Howard is hosting a big party tonight, so he wants to at least get out of the first round.
Joe Mauer came up next and he got busy right away. He hit two out immediately, then pulled two would-be homers foul. Then it became obvious why a line-drive hitter can struggle in this event.
He kept hitting the ball hard, but the ball wouldn’t go out. He finished with five.
Tony’s worst dream, Albert’s in the final 4.
