Teddy Bear Rolls Past
St. Joseph's, 12–6
Drobiak goes four for the W as Teddy Bear's offense erupts for 17 hits
Teddy Bear Pools and Spas came to play from the opening pitch Friday evening, stringing together three singles in the top of the first to open the scoring. Landman got things started with an RBI single, and Teddy Bear never looked back, pulling away from St. Joseph's Saints for a 12–6 final.
The visitors extended their lead methodically in the second inning. Toth doubled down the left-field line and Jimenez followed with a triple to center, each driving in a run and pushing the margin to three. Another run crossed in the third when Rosemond doubled down the left-field line on an 0–2 count in a patient, opportunistic at-bat that kept the pressure on St. Joseph's starter Jack Feltovic.
Feltovic absorbed the punishment for three innings, ultimately charged with six runs on 11 hits with two strikeouts and no walks before departing. The right-hander had no margin for error against a lineup that was putting the barrel on the ball early and often.
The game was effectively put away in the top of the fifth. Teddy Bear Pools sent 17 batters to the plate across the game and concentrated the knockout blow in one five-run burst: Toth singled to score two, then Griggs tripled to center, plating three more. The inning signaled a long night for the St. Joseph's bullpen.
Drobiak earned the win on the mound, turning in four solid innings of work. He surrendered six hits and four runs, struck out one, and walked one — a workmanlike line for a starter who didn't need to be spectacular with that kind of run support behind him.
St. Joseph's was not without fight. Devin Slattery was the offensive bright spot, going 3-for-4 at the top of the lineup, and Pat Fitzgibbons drove in two runs in the middle of the order, finishing 2-for-4. The Saints collected nine hits as a club and turned a double play, but the deficit never permitted a sustained rally.
Teddy Bear, for their part, spread the wealth across the lineup. Landman, Jimenez, Maldonado, and Toth each had three hits on the night, with Griggs and Toth pacing the RBI column at three apiece. Ryan Magni and Rosemond added multiple-hit games of their own. The club finished with 17 hits and also turned one double play in the field.
St. Joseph's will look to regroup when they travel to face BankESB in their next contest.
