The Hornets won their second game of the season 6-1 bringing their overall record to an astounding 2-0. The Cougars tossed their ace, Pat Butler, who pitched great at times, but his defense couldn't make a play for him and his offense was stifled by junior Greg Baruka. The Hornets scored the majority of their runs in a rally started in the 4th or 5th inning by a Robert Jeanette bunt that resulted in a two bag throwing error. Other notables include Adam Flanner going 3 for 3, Steve Seminerio hitting two near-home runs that resulted in two doubles, and a solo jack by Matty Mitola.
Glenn Paladino, injured in the Hornet's first game of the season last week, is now expected to go to the doctor's tomorrow and start physical therapy. The Hornets had another close scare when Super Sophmore Max Litvak stretched for an underthrown ball. Max got up with intense pain and heard a "pop" in his hips. Futher details are uncertain.
The Hornets bring their 2-0 record to the test against Weequahic on Wednesday. Andrew Isslein is the projected starter for the game.
