Tampa Bay Smokers advance to ASA Major final
Saturday, August 6th, 2005From the pen of longtime Smoker’s writer, Matt Birmingham, courtesy of Al’s Fastball: Smokers advance to ASA final
“Tampa Bay put the game away in the opening inning as 1B Trent Rubley doubled home 2B Chris Miljavic, and LF Barry Kahler mashed his second home run of the tournament; a three run shot that brought home 3B Frankie Perez, who doubled, and DP Boomer Brush who walked.
The Smokers added three more runs in the third as Brush blasted a three run homer of his own that brought in Rubley and Perez. Brushes left center field homer not only cleared the 250 temp fence, but would have easily cleared the permanent 290 foot fence, had it not been for the scrub oak trees.”
