Park Pub Staves Off Late Rally To Take Championship

Big First Inning Key to Victory

Park Pub took advantage of a couple TapouT miscues in the first inning to jump out to a 7-0 lead, a lead they would never relinquish. The damage would have been greater if not for the great defensive play of TapouT's left fielder Mike Olson, who threw out a runner at home plate for the final out of the inning. Following the put-out, momentum briefly swung to TapouT as they answered with six runs in the next two innings, thanks mostly to Luke Deryckx's three run triple in the third, to cut the lead to one after three played. However, TapouT could not overcome the solid defense of Park Pub. Great catches were plentiful, such as Merrell Cacka's diving catch in right field and left-center fielder Brendan Stamper's sliding catch. The defensive highlight, however, came from shortstop Nikki Opp, who recorded seven of the game's 21 possible outs with rally killing diving catches!
Park Pub gained breathing room in the 4th and 5th innings scoring an additional 3 runs to put the game away with the final score being 10-6. Offensive highlights for Park Pub include Player of the Game Chris Shepperd's 3 RBIs, Ryan Stamper's 3B, and Joel Vandenbrink's three hits.
Congratulations to Park Pub for winning the Summer Co-ed Softball league at Paramount!
