Thanks to Joseph Kihlmire, father of starting pitcher Joey Kihlmire, for relaying the info:

Red Hook 11 – Croton 1 – 5 inning (10 run mercy rule).

Offensive Highlights: Nick Hunziker 3-4, 2 singles and a Grand Slam, 7 RBI’s. Austin Cole 2-3, Single & Triple. Matt Corliss 2-3, 2 singles. Joey Kihlmire 1-2, Double and a walk.

Defensive Highlights: Pitching – Joey Kihlmire – 5 IP, 1R, 2 H, 1 BB, 11 SO – there were only 4 defensive outs due to the strike out total but there was a great relay play on one of the two hits which was hit over the center fielder (Nick Hunziker). Relay Hunziker to Jimmy Mulvey (shortstop out for cutoff) to Austin Cole at third for the out.
