RUNS GALORE IN FIRST WEEK OF HCC COMPETITION
Hitters are definitely ahead of pitchers in the first week of the St. Petersburg Half-Century Club’s 81st season. Dan Lombardi’s four home runs during the opening four games of the 60 game season may be an indication of what pitchers may be facing.
The Cranes, captained by Mike Hines, jumped off to a quick 3-1 record by wining three in a row behind the steady pitching of Scott Stein and consistant hitting of Mike Robertson.
