Sometimes a pitcher’s stuff is just so overwhelming that it is impossible for the opposing team to do anything.
Mikey Furst was absolutely dominant in MVP Beasts 9-1 victory over 5 Star in last nights Blue Chip Prospects Varsity Elite Tournament game.
MVP Beast jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first. The first run came in thanks to Benny Licata who hit a ball that the shortstop couldn’t handle. A dropped popup made it 2-0 MVP Beast and a run was balked in to make it 3-0 MVP Beast.
MVP Beast scored 5 runs in the third inning. Danny Moccio got it started with an RBI single to left field to make it 4-0. Joey DiMotta laced a 2-run double to left center to make it 6-0. A dropped third strike made it 7-0 MVP Beast, and Brandon O’Neill just missed hitting a ball out of Moriches as it hit the second level of the fence for an RBI double to make it 8-0.
Mikey Furst was blowing away the 5 Star hitters all night with his fastball, generating tons of swing and misses.
MVP Beast ended up surrendering only one run on an RBI groundout that made it 8-1 in the 4th. However, the game wouldn’t last much longer as Brandon O’Neill ended the game in the top of the 5th with an RBI single to enact the 8 run mercy rule, giving MVP Beast the victory.
