Saint Augustine, Florida- On Friday Night the Saint Augustine High Yellow Jackets Junior Varsity baseball team topped the cross town rival Pedro Menendez 6-3 in a game really had no meaning.
First, the starting pitchers were as followed for Saint Augustine Shayne Schneider and for Pedro Menendez was Jay Georges. Schneider was shaky in the first two innings allowing 4 walks and only getting one strikeout. Then in the third and fourth innings he heated up by getting 4 strikeouts and 2 groundouts. Georges for Pedro was dominant in the first two innings but then slowed down in the third and forth innings.
The game was scoreless into the third when Pedro got two bloop hits and double steal. Two singles later it was 2-0 Pedro, but then a pass ball the runner got picked off at third and a double to end the inning. Sean Fitzpatrick hit a home run over the left center field wall to put the Jackets on the board. A couple innings later Patrick Shelton scored on a pass ball to tie the game at 3-3. Then in the sixth inning four pass balls occurred one was an out (Josh Bogert) and three scored (Sean Pheffer, Dustin Nyberg, and Hunter Mitchell) to produce the final score of Jackets 6- Falcons 3.

Let’s be “Fair2Mike?” I love what you are trying to do here, but do it bigger with more attitude. Use a tape recorder to share the highlights of the game and then write down the best of the best in the game. You’ve got a bright future if you just perfect what you do. I felt like I was at the game, but a bit confused looking at it from both sides. History is written by the victor. Bias is acceptable because somebody must win and lose. Do we really care about the loser and or why? Celebrate the game and we will celebrate with you. That’s “Fair2Mike.”
