Atlantic hosted the Hoboken Nine this past weekend for a pair of 1864 matches, and came away with a sweep, winning 14-3 and 25-3 as the Atlantic bats activated and the hands served well on defense.
In the first game, Atlantic scored 7 times in the bottom of the first and never looked back, as Blackjack, between the lines, held the Nine to a single run in the 6th and 2 runs in the 9th, tossing 7 goose-eggs. Dreambucket, with 2 doubles, and Hawk, with a home run, led Atlantic with 3 hits apiece. Dirty Pirate had 2 triples, scoring both times, and Krawler added a double.
In the second match, Tuna stepped between the lines, giving up 2 runs in the 1st and another in the 4th, but that would be it as he also tossed 7 goose-eggs at the Nine. Meanwhile, Atlantic scored often, with two big innings, a 7-run 2nd and an 8-run 5th, to coast to the victory. Shakespeare led the Atlantic attack with 5 hits, including a triple, and scored 4 aces. Dreambucket (3 aces), Hawk (another home run), and Willy Mo (2 aces) each had 4 hits. Dirty Pirate had a single, a double, and a triple, reaching base 6 times and scoring 5 aces.
Next weekend Atlantic travels to Harrington, Delaware, to compete in the MAVBBL play-offs
