EN FUEGO SOFTBALL CLUB HISTORY: FEBRUARY

February 20, 2003 – En Fuego faced league foe Dough Pro in the fifth game of the Spring Laguna Hills Thursday night league in need of a win after suffering three losses in a row.  En Fuego knew they would need to score a lot of runs to match the usual output by the Dough Pro offense so they jumped on the board early with a four run first inning and added eight more runs in the second to take a 12-3 lead at the end of two.  After scoring four more runs in the third inning, En Fuego took control of the game by scoring 18 runs in the fourth inning to lead 34-4 after four innings.  En Fuego added three more runs in the fifth and Dough Pro was only able to score four runs in the bottom of the fifth so the game ended in a mercy with a final score of 37-8.  There were numerous offensive stars for En Fuego with outfielder Mike Lorton going 5-for-5 with a walk and five RBI.  Second baseman Kevin Lorton, outfielder Greg Reynolds, shortstop Brett Nista, outfielder James Verdi, and pitcher Craig Watkins all went 5-for-6 in the game.  Watkins reached a milestone by scoring his 500th run in his En Fuego career.  The team belted out 44 hits in the game for a .786 average including three home runs and 10 doubles.  The win ended their three game skid and helped En Fuego go on to win the league championship later that season.
