(VIDEO) HERTS RAPTORS MAKE LEAGUE DEBUT IN THEIR FIRST EVER SEASON

posted on behalf of Herts Baseball Newswire reporter, ROB JONES

The Herts Raptors learned some harsh lessons in their first competitive game, against the Old Timers of Enfield. The score was tight heading into the bottom of the fourth, but then defensive lapses by Herts, and aggressive base-running by the home team, blew the game open. The Raptors were on the wrong end of several close umpiring calls, but kept their heads up to score some late runs, finally going down 33-8.

There were bright points for the Herts new boys — such as booming doubles from Hunter Devine and Paul Hawes, and a strong performance out of the bullpen by Jon Lewys. Raptors will put defeat behind them and build on the good points in their next match against Essex.
