Bluebirds Win, Winter goes 3-for-4
|
The Brooklyn Bluebirds put one in the win column on Opening Day at Flatbush Park. The Bluebirds defeated the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 9-3. Brooklyn second baseman Lenny Winter was instrumental in his team's success. He went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Damon Rutherford earned the win for Brooklyn. He lasted 8.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 8. With the win, he raised his record to 1-0.
Bob Rawlins had a big 2-run double for the Bluebirds in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Brooklyn leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a curveball from Larry Mitchell, who finished 2nd in the NBL in strikeouts with 173 last year, and swatted a double to right. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bluebirds ahead, 4-0.
"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Winter told the Brooklyn Daily.
