Redlegs hold on to win over Blue Jays
by Bob Korn
The Redlegs managed to fend off the tenacious Blue Jays in a game that went the full nine innings. It was deja vu all over again for the Reds pitching staff as they got strong performances from starter Matt Gaugler, middle relievers Commish Ron and Chris French, and closer Nelson Taveras.
For Nelson Taveras it was the second time in two weeks that he closed out a game for the Reds. The day before, Nelson received the first Hall of Fame award at the Legends 10th Anniversary Celebration at Glory Days Grill in Burke, VA. Congratulations Mr. T and all the other Legends Hall of Famers.
Flying Squirrels soar past Dodgers

The Flying Squirrels went up against a new looking Dodgers squad on a beautiful Sunday at Edison High School. Pitching dominated early as the first three and one half innings blew by with both teams being held scoreless.
In the bottom of the 4th inning, the Squirrels opened up the scoring with two runs on three hits, including a big leadoff double by veteran Kevin B. The Flying Squirrels' offense got on a roll and never looked back, tacking on two runs in the 5th, four runs in a rule-shortened 6th, one run in the 7th, and seven runs in a big 8th inning to seal the deal.
As usual, pitching and defense held firm for the Squirrels in this contest. Newly anointed starting pitcher Dustin B. dazzled, throwing four innings of one-hit ball while striking out seven, earning himself a Legend-of-the Week nomination.
Reliever J. Britt also had a nice day on the hill, throwing five innings and holding the Dodgers to two runs on seven hits.
The Flying squirrels' bats combined to go 20 for 41 at the dish including seven extra base hits in their best offensive effort to date. They hope to keep it rolling in the coming weeks as weather and holidays may play a role in spacing out the schedule and potentially throwing teams off their game.
