Cali knows how to Party- Rancho Cucamonga Night 1

    The Party Animals and Bananas made their first trip to California, and Rancho Cucamonga proved they know how to party. Here are some highlights from night 1! 

  1. In the first half inning, the Party Animals sent up 9 out of their 10 batters!
  2. In the top of the second, Dustin Baber steals first on a passed ball by Bill LeRoy.
  3. In the bottom of the second, Malachi Mitchell steals 2nd on a 1-2 count. LeRoy hits a bouncing ground ball towards 3rd. Bryson Bloomer throws the ball across the diamond to Jason Swan to get LeRoy out. Swan throws the ball back across the diamond to Dylan Porter who is covering the base and gets Mitchell out in a rare 5-3-1 double play.

  4. In the bottom of the third, Dan Oberst and Malachi Mitchell both steal bases at the same time for a double steal.
  5. One of the most intense moments of the game comes in the bottom of the sixth inning, when Oberst hits a ball that is called a home run. There was a challenge on whether the ball is fair or foul. If fair, the call will stand and the Bananas walk off the inning. If foul, the inning continues. The call ends up being foul and overturned and the inning continues with Oberst grounding out to the Chase Achuff.
