If you haven't heard already, the Vero Beach Devil Rays have a pretty good team. Starting the season 2-0 with a two game sweep of the St. Lucie Mets was nice thanks in part to great pitching. The victory tonight showed signs of a championship type caliber team. The ability to not give up and come from behind are two key components in winning down the stretch.
Bottom of the ninth down by two the Devil Rays faced adversity straight in the face. An rbi single from Suarez followed by a textbook sacrifice bunt off the bat of Quinn Stewart allowed Suarez to move into scoring position. Ryan Royster tied the game with his rbi single followed by another base hit from Nevin Ashley. Have I mentioned the fact that Ashley has called three great games behind the plate?
Tonights hero was Matt Fields. A walk off rbi single scoring Royster from second emptying the dugout and sending everyone home happy. This team arrived in Vero Beach loaded with talent and slowly everyone is starting to take notice. The season is young yes, but it's fun to be excited at the ballpark again.
About Me
- Kirk Agius
- I am originally from the great lake state of Michigan. I was born and raised in Trenton, Michigan which is about 25 minutes south of Detroit by highway. I grew up loving the Detroit Tigers and listening to the call on the radio by the lengendary voice of Ernie Harwell. As a matter of fact Ernie was my very first interview during my senior year in high school. I am married to the love of my life in which I met when I was just 15 years old. I have always wanted to be involved with sports broadcasating and have even dabbled in the acting field a little. My first time on a movie set was in a film titled Apt Pupil. Nothing major and in fact if you blink you might miss me. My short lived television commercial career was with Ford. I shot three different commercials for the Ford Focus when it first arrived on the scene in 2000. They even let me speak! My downtime is spent with my wife and our jack russell terrier, Brutus. We love the beach and who knows, maybe one day I will actually utilize the surfboard that is collecting dust in my garage.
