D9 Game 3: Red West Shuts Down Kirkland American

Redmond West 5 Kirkland American 0

They say it takes flawless ball to get a "W" in All-Stars, and that's what our boys were tonight, "Flawless!" From Alex's 17 outs (84 pitches) of shutout ball on the mound to Devon's straightaway center homerun (at least 218 feet) to error-free play from behind the plate to the infield and into the outfield.

And we have to to give a nod to the error-free play. Highlights included:
A Ben to Justin to an incredibly outstretched Drew double play (he was nearly doing the splits).
A smooth barehand beat him by a nano-second play by Justin to Devon at first.
Sam N.'s quick reflexes on a comebacker to the mound and over to first for the last out of the game.

Additional highlights at the plate included:
Gavin went 2-2 reaching base all four at bats (walking his two other at-bats)
Sam L. went 2-2 with a deep triple (off the fence, at least 215 feet)
