We don’t always carry >Rockville Express baseball news, but they’ve got a new intern who has helpfully been supplying us good game recaps so here is a rundown on our hometown ball team’s win last night:
On Tuesday night, July 7th, the Rockville Express defeated the Herndon Braves 9-4 in a game that was continued from a rain delay back in June. Dan Moller (Temple) started on the mound for the Express and threw 6 1/3 strong innings before Gary Levesque (Rhode Island) came in and closed it out.
Along with Moller and Levesque’s solid pitching, the offense came alive as well. Key hits by Justin and Ian Leisenheimer (Maine) and Ryan Geffert (So. Connecticut) along with Jeff Reynolds (Harvard) two run homerun in the 6th inning provided the offense the Express needed to acquire the win.
“We were able to overcome our errors and get key hits when we needed them,” said head coach Jim Pereira. The win was a much needed one due to the Express’ recent struggles after starting off the season strong. With the win, Rockville improves to 7-16 on the season after having started off 4-0. The Express hope to use this win to gain momentum for the remainder of the season.
The next games are: Thursday July 9th, Friday July 10th, and Saturday July 11th, against the Alexandria Aces, Maryland Redbirds and Youse’s Orioles.
All game are at 5:00 PM at Knights Field on the Montgomery College Rockville campus. To learn more about the Express go here.
thanx for the express recap. our family has hosted one of the players, bobby venditto (rhode island), this summer and enjoyed having him join us. it has been good for our son, an avid baseball fan and player, and good to connect our player with the rockville / dc community.
Great to see this write-up and urge the team to keep them coming. While the team has been struggling, it’s a fun time to take the kids and see a game. They did have to start charging for games, but $3 (kids ubder 12 free) is a better bargain than the professional options around town.
