The Eagle Academy middle school baseball team played its second playoff game against MS 219. The weather was perfect for the best game of the season. Giordany Mendoza was the starting pitcher for the Eagles, and he pitched pretty well. The game seemed easy starting out, but it got pretty rough. We were down two-zip, and it was getting pretty hard to hit. Charlie Zhanay hit the ball over the right fielder’s head, but he got thrown out at second. Then the Eagles made their greatest comeback of the season. Sammy Fleet hit a home run for our first run of the game, all the way across the street and across a fence on the other side of the street. In the top of the last inning, the Eagles scored two runs to take the lead and won the game! They advanced to the Bronx semifinal round.
