North Colonie could hardly keep their shirts on as they won the round robin tournament with a 3-0 win over Brunswick. Bret Watson led the offensive attack going 2-3 with 1 RBI. Stefan Scarlata was 1 for 3 with an RBI. Tom McDonald also had a multi-hit game going 2 for 3. North Colonie was threatening to break the game wide open in the top of the sixth with bases loaded and one out. Mike Mclosky fought off a tough pitch, hitting a pop fly behind pitchers mound where three Brunswick players assembled. All three players had a hand in making the catch and turned what should have been an infield fly, in to a never seen before quadruple play, ending the inning for North Colonie. As a result of the play, North Colonie will start next year’s district tournament with one out.
Tom McDonald pitched a complete game, facing 21 batters, giving up 1 hits, 0 runs, 2 walks, 14 strikeouts bringing his All-star pitching record to 5-0. Over the course of the All-star season, Tom has faced 109 batters, giving up 3 runs, 10 hits, 7 walks, and a total of 67 strikeouts. Hats off to Tommy for an awesome All-star season.
