Softball and Football Stats on Sports Monday
Good evening, I’m James Adderley and this is Sports Monday.
We start off with Saturday’s big clash in the Cayo 1st Division Football Competition as Bullet Tree battled Westrac inside the Norman Broaster Stadium. Folks, we’re only some 5 minutes into the action when Luis Arevalo fires this right foot shot just inside the box and goalkeeper, Robin Rodriguez, botches what should have been an easy save as Westrac take the 1-zip lead. 4 minutes later, Westrac defender, Carlos Rosales, hands this call; it might have been inadvertent bt that decision belong to the referee and he ruled penalty for Bullet Tree. Elvis Pinelo gets the call and he doesn’t disappoint beating Ayel de la Rosa rather easilt to knot the score at 1 apiece.
Westrac then looks to retake the lead on this outside bomb from Mario Herrera but Robin Rodriguez handles the launch. At the other end, Elvis Pinelo does everything right until he pulls the trigger to unleash a shot that had no legs.
It’s Westrac again on the move off this set piece that forces the goalkeeper into a tough save and at the half we have a 1-1 tie. Meanwhile folks, a minute into the resumption of play, Luis Arevalo fires this grounder at goal; Rodriguez intervenes but the rebound reaches Fredy Herrera and Westrac takes the 2-1 lead. Herrera wants more so he fires this potent right foot that rises over the crossbar. Nevertheless, it’s Fredy Herrera who puts the game out of reach with this screamer that crashes into the net as Westrac gets the 3-1 Big Win.
