Purple/Gold World Series Game 1

Very sparse crowd today in the old Box. Austin Ross started for purple, and Nolan Cain for gold. Both had fine outings, the batters looked incredibly cold.

Gibbs and Schimpf both hit back to back solo bombs for gold.

Ochinko hit a deep, deep solo bomb for purple.

Game ended 2-1, Gold.

A few notes:

Davis, Reine, and Ardoin have definitely been cut. No word on Taylor Martin.

Matt Ott came in for gold and looked fanastic. The kid can really throw, and I think pitched 2 perfect innings.

Hanover is a small kid, smaller than Schimpf. Looked athletic in RF for gold, though.

Mahtook generated more bat speed than anyone else on either team.

Nola didn't have an opportunity to do much.

The competition for outfield spots should be interesting.

I don't know where to throw a guy like Gaudet in our lineup. Ochinko should clearly be 1B.

Haydel had a nice rip for a double. There is a zero percent chance of him getting cut. He is clearly the leader of the team.

Really, a quiet day for everyone. But hell, y'all need to come out and watch for the next two days if y'all can.
