3L AA Championship Game 1 Victory for Romo and Marquette
When he got to Marquette, Alfredo Romo was just worrying about staying on the roster. Today, he was starring in the 3L AA Championship.
The 23-year-old rookie right-hander shut out the visiting Squirrel Hill Pierogis 1-0 in a remarkable performance at Marquette Stadium today. With the win, the Miners took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 3L AA Championship.
Romo gave Marquette a solid start. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 7 innings.
"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Marquette manager Christos Galpin told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."
Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Marquette Stadium in Marquette. Slated to start are Jerry Reid for Squirrel Hill and Greg Borges for Marquette.
