WOW !! If you were not at the Bruins/Pretzel ball game you missed a great one !!   Down to the wire !!   Bruins 5 - Pretzels 4 !!   We win !!  Joey Huddleston’s two out single in the top of the last inning scores Peter Miller from third !!   Bottom of the 7^th.   The Pretzel lead off hitter singles off of David Wasser–steals 2^nd–and is bunted around to 3^rd, with Wasser making a great 1-3 out on the bunt to no man’s land to the right of the mound, tossing to a stretching John Von Behren at 1st.   The tying runner is at third. Wasser battles the Pretzel number 8 hitter, who in the 4^th had battled Wasser for 11 pitches, but then looked at a called strike three.   On the 6^th pitch Wasser again gets him on a called strike three!!  Last batter - Wasser strike him out on 4 pitches, stranding the Pretzel runner at third.  Bruins win !!

          But that was only part of the story. The Bruins opened up the first inning with  three runs on Trey Dhabalt and Newell’s hits, Wasser’s walk followed by Tyler Casper and John Von Behren putting the ball in play (although being out on FC’s).  The Bruins added a fourth run in the second on Wasser’s single to left that scored Blaine Yates-Frederich who started the inning with a lead-off walk. Newell kept the Pretzels shut out for two innings, striking out 5 of the first 7 batters he faced and popping up the lead off batter to himself.   By halfway through the fourth it was 4-4, as Newell gave up the only Pretzel hits of the game, but more importantly, retired two more Pretzel batters on strikeouts for a total of 7 strike outs against 15 batters in four innings of pitching!! Wasser struck out five of the next 12 Pretzels he faced to bring home the win.
