White Sox TOC Game 1 Recap - It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Right!

The Ladera White Sox blasted their way into the semi finals of the District 25 Tournament of Champions playoff with a 13-2 victory over the Malibu Padres last night at Culver Marina Little League.  

Starting pitcher, Robert Togia, was nearly flawless on the mound through 3 innings yielding 0 runs on 2 hits and striking out 3.  Jibri Walden relieved him on the mound in the 4th inning to close the show.  The White Sox played stellar defense behind them; led by Grant Craddolph with 3 huge assists for shortstop, Kelvin Murrilo on second base with an assist and put out, and Lawrence Gilliam at first base with 6 put outs.

The big story of the day was the explosive offensive display put on by Grant Craddolph and Jibri Walden.  Both players sent 2 home runs out of the park.  Grant hit home runs on his first two at bats.  Jibri hit bombs on his last two, with the final home run going as a walk-off  (his second walk off home run of the post season).  The home runs place them in a tie for the lead for the home run title with fellow White Sox, Lawrence Gilliam.

Robert Togia had a key 2 run RBI and scored a run.  Lawrence and Kelvin scored two runs a piece, and Devin Martin and Nathan Moore scored runs.  Mathew Hamilton also contributed a single.

The Sox will play the winner of the Culver Marina Giants and the City of Angels Bulldogs on Friday evening at 6PM at Culver Marina.
