Blue and Red Tie in Veteran’s Game

The Blue team erased an 8-6 deficit in the bottom of the ninth and tied the Red team 8-8 in the RCBL Veteran’s Game at Montezuma Ruritan Park on Friday, July 7. Former Bridgewater Red Alex Stover was named the MVP for his three run home run. 

“It’s kind of like riding a bike, I guess; you do it your whole life, and it just comes back to you,” Stover said. “You just start warming up, and being out here, it’s so fun with all these guys. You know, it’s just natural sometimes.” 

The Red team got out to a 1-0 lead on a fielder’s choice grounder from #2, and a three run homer from #21 made it 4-0. Stover’s home run cut it to 4-3. All the exact statistics and names are not available due to a lack of statistics being kept. 

After a barrage of errors and unearned runs made the score 8-6 headed to the bottom of the ninth, the Blue team got to work, as two RBI singles tied it up. Stover had the chance to walk it off, but grounded out to second to end the game.
