DALY CITY BRIANS

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Louie Rappoport.  Making the most out of his first start, Louie, terminator shades and all, quietly laid down Brian after Brian.  He fell behind 3-0 about four or five times and each time save one he threw a quality strike to stay battling the hitter and eventually get them out. A complete game 8K 1R 1ER 3BB day something to be proud of kid, especially on a team like the Brians, whose 0-7 record doesn't really indicate how well they can hit.  I've seen them doing BP at Rolph and just FLIPPING dingers like it was no big deal, so setting them down one by one with Louie's personal style of cold precision is even more remarkable.  Looks like you're in the rotation Lou!

PLAY OF THE GAME: Great heads up back-up play on a sort of sinking liner that came right off the glove of Alex in RF.  One of the Brians was on second base and had to hold to see if it was caught, and when it wasn't he took off.  Pat had hustled over and backed up Alex and shot the ball into Colin near the bag at second and Colin fired a one-hop strike to LunchBox at the plate who was able to catch the ball and make a nice tag while blocking the plate, preserving (for the time being) the shutout Lou had going.  It happened really fast but you were there, you saw it, nothing I can say will make it cooler than it already is in your memory.  Just keep it there, and know that that kind of execution will not only win PCHL ballgames, but you could see your name mentioned in a future POTG if you're into that sort of low-level beer league near-Internet-celebrity status!

CLEARLY NEEDED TO BE MENTIONED SOMEWHERE: In a ballgame like yesterday's, I would gladly trade outs every time just to see LunchBox attempt to pirouette over/under/beside/along the opposing catcher.  To me, at least, it seemed as though he hung in the air for an extra beat or two than is normal, but that could have been my hangover.  Nice pick-off of that Brian leading off second, too LB!
