O's shake off 80's woes, win one in Danbury

7/19/2009
Bridgeport Orators vs. Glen Head ZigZags
--------
GAME 1, WON: 14-4

At a special event at Rogers Park in Danbury, the Orators buried their 1880's rules struggles and convincingly won their first 80's game of the season (it was only the second this year but the problems with the overhand rules go back to last season). Gozer caught a complete game, no easy feat especially considering the summer weather.

"Muhl" from Newtown pitched a complete game giving up only 2 earned runs. He also came through in the clutch with a 3 run HR and a 2rbi double.

The ZigZags are no slouches and have been on an extended winning streak, so the O's victory was definitely something special. It was the first time the teams faced off in the history of the clubs.

The Orators hope to build on their 80's success this weekend when they take on the tough Hartford Senators team in the overhand game.
