Season Opener Shutout


The team is back and it couldn't have gone better. 
With six runs in the first three innings, Red Hots left no doubt about the eventual outcome.
RBI singles by Jazz Smith, Ashley Smith, and Josh Hendren during the second inning helped the Red Hots put some runs on the board early.
Brian Kerr had a memorable day.  He singled in the first inning and homered in the fourth inning.
Red Hots hammered St. Matt's pitching as eight hitters had a field day, combining for 21 hits, 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored.
They increased their lead with three runs in the third. A clutch passed ball scored Kaitlyn Randall to open the scoring in the frame. That was followed up by Ivan Perez's double, plating Kerr and Teresa Hendren.
Red Hots added four more runs in the top of the fifth. Jazz Smith singled, plating Perez to start the inning. That was followed up by Ashley's single, scoring Jazz.  
A team known for their defense came up strong behind Ivan and Ron's pitching, shutting St Matt's 16-0.  This was the Red Hots 2nd shutout in franchise history.  Their first was back in Sep 16th 2006 defeating Half & Half  19-0.
