Each time Menlo Park’s Turner Bishop (Old Dominion) came to bat in today’s game against the Walnut Creek Crawdads there were runners in scoring position, and each time Bishop found a way to drive the runs in. Finishing the game with seven RBI, Bishop had a run-scoring double in the second, a sacrifice fly in the third and fourth innings, and then a bases loaded triple in the fifth to plate three more. It was a standout performance that may have gone unnoticed today because just about every Menlo Park hitter was driving in runs as the Legends pounded the Crawdads 21-1 at Canada College. The Legends also got great offensive performances from Sean Watkins (4-for-5, 3 RBI), Justin Jacobs (Gonzaga) (2-for-4, 3 RBI) and Patrick McColl (Harvard) (2-for-4, 3 RBI), and starting pitcher Tanner Disibio (Faulkner) pitched five innings of one-hit ball to pick up the win.
