Players-to-Watch Recap:
The shakeup in the competition rules put a nice spin on tonight’s competition. However in tonight’s game it was really one player that won it, rather than a collection. Andrew won by choosing SS Luis Hernandez, LF Julio Borbon, and 3B Brandon Snyder. His pick of Hernandez is what truly sealed the deal as he was by far the best player on the field tonight. Hernandez had three hits and had RBI’s on three of the E-Train’s six runs. As this being Andrew and I’s last game we would like to conclude by saying it has been a pleasure bringing you the best in Express coverage. Thanks for the great memories, and go Express!
