Mayhem Cruises Past Kings Park, 15-5
by Gabe Zoda Baseball can end up being a game of runs, and this game between the Kings Park Knights and Mayhem Baseball definitely showed this. This game would end up only going 4 innings with a final score of 15-5. It started pretty good for the Kings Park Knights as they took the first game of the DH and started off the 2nd game well after they scored 2 runs in the first inning. Noah Padilla, the leadoff batter for the Knights, started things off with a single. He would then steal 2nd and 3rd to get himself in a perfect spot to score. Dylan Schor sealed the deal one batter later with an RBI single to center field. Dylan stole 2nd and then moved over to 3rd on a groundout. This put him in a spot to score on almost anything. That opportunity would present himself in the form of a passed...
