AFL Update: Nov. 7, 2021
Surprise’s woes continued in a 12-9 loss to Mesa – the Sagaruos’ fifth loss in the last six games.
Three Nationals were in the Surprise starting lineup:
- Donovan Casey (pictured) led off and played center field. He reached base three times with two singles and a walk and drove in two.
- Jackson Cluff batted No. 2 and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored. In the field, shortstop it was, he had five putouts and took part in two double plays.
- Israel Pineda was the eighth batter and went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.
The Sagauros (13-8) return to action tomorrow afternoon as they host the Rafters.
Casey’s performance in AZ is a good example of why the AFL is worthwhile. It always seems to hold more value than any performance in any of the Caribbean Winter Leagues. Please give examples of why I am wrong if I am.
