Game 3 - The Juggies Tap House Brewers defeated the Pub on the other side of town, the Garage Pub FOG in the last game of the night, 13-4. Hits were fairly even, 21-15 for the Brewers, but the score didn't really tell the whole story. Some great defense by the Brewers, topped off by a great, over-the-shoulder catch in RF by Paul Savard hit by Ron Jarvis that snuffed out what could have been a big inning for the FOG. That pretty much saved our bacon. Jim Dulle pitched a good game for the Brewers, as did Rod Insko on the visitors side, no walks by either pitcher. Grant MacKay, Rod Aman and Rod Insko all had 3 hits for the Garage. Ron Jarvis hit the ball hard all night, and had 2 hits. For Juggies, our lead-off hitter tonight, Mark Porter was 4-4, Dale Deis and Jamie White had 3 hits and Larry Biko had a big double in the 5th inning that cleared the bases, good for 3 RBI's. Birthday boy Blaine Lutz had 2 doubles. Thanks to the Crosstown Red Sox for their work tonight, and Randy and Darlene in the press box.
