Rookie Willie Castro, signed by Superscout Carlos Ruperto, came up huge in his Blazers debut, twirling a complete game and scattering 12 hits to a good hitting Chicago Giants team. The Blazers were led offensively by Adam Bransfield, who had four hits, George Kerst had three, including  2 doubles and a triple, Dean Hill had three hits and drove in what turned out to be the winning runs, and Ric Moots had three hits to continue his hot streak carryover from last week. Jeff Albertson had a pair of hits, as did Rick Sanders. The Blazers pounded out 19 hits, and made most all of the plays, and Willie did the rest, walking zero Giants, which minimized the big innings that so frequently get you in the tournaments. Great win, let's see how the rest of the week turns out!
