'Kits' Ease Into TQC IntraClub Championship Despite Loss to' 'Kids'

It is difficult to get in front of a moving express train. That is what the ‘Kits’ winners of the Three Quarter Century Club’s IntraClub championship race had to do Thursday. March 31 at North Shore Park in St Petersburg.

The ‘Kits” needed to complete the season with the championship in hand. A game with the ‘Kids’ who had won ten straight games, ended the 21-22 schedule.

The rampaging ‘Kids’ defeated the ‘Kits’ 13-5 with no harm to the ‘Kits’ championship season. JD Horn swung a hot bat for ‘Kits’ with a 3/3 performance at the plate. Captain Will Michaels led his team to its tenth consecutive victory with three hits in four appearances at the plate.

The ‘Kats’ kept the flicker of hope alive earlier. Scoring big in the first two innings and fighting off the ‘Kubs’ effort to escape the lock of a losing streak dating back to February 10. A miracle win by the ‘Kubs’ combined with the ‘Kats win would result in a tie at the top of the IntraClub championship. Not to worry, the Kats win 16-11.

Walt Ewald led his team’s victory with two home runs in a 3/3 day at the plate. Jon Reynolds posted a 4/4 mark at the plate for the ‘Kubs,’ including three doubles, five rbi, and two runs scored.
