two In the opening game on Saturday morning it was obvious to all con cerned that the question wasnt who would win but whether or not Georgetown would ever get out Kevin Humeniski opened the game with a home run and before the Hanover team could post outs Georgetown had batted around three times and scored nineteen more runs After only three innings the game was called with our guys up To the credit of the Georgetown players and coaches they were very low key for the last 2 innings without the usual cheering from the bench at every hit Our guys have been on the losing end of some high scores this year and we know what a humbling ex perience it can be As for the scoring the statistics are only available for the first inn ing as this reporter stopped coun ting Andrew led the RBI
