Borchardt Pushes Caracas To The Brink
Box score
For most of the season, Michael Reid and Henry Jones got all the ink headlining the Kiev Comets rotation. But there was a third All Star in the group: Adolph Borchardt. He proved why in Game 4, spotting the Rangers a run in the 1st inning before shutting them down for the next six. He got help offensively from the usual suspects: Mel Martin was 3-4, Michaël Thierry added two hits, and Zach Paris drove in two and scored two. The game was never truly in doubt once the Comets surged to a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 1st.
The Comets will have three chances to put away Caracas now, beginning tomorrow night with Reid on the hill.
