Ritchie Powers Bridegrooms Offense
The <Maryland Bridegrooms:team#76> thumped the <Ontario Blue Pirates:team#77>, 8-2, at Farmers Market Stadium. <Pat Ritchie:player#6667> was a big reason his team got the win. Ritchie was 4-6 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. <Torazo Kato:player#10071> earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 9-8.  The win for the Bridegrooms lifted their record to 72-53.

Maryland used the timely hitting of <Jarrod Woodruff:player#7024> to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring  single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bridegrooms on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We think we're a good team overall, so we're not too surprised to win today," said Ritchie.
