Each week, USCA will post notes.

Sharp Looks Sharp

In the series opener against the Lions, Josh Sharp did what he does – dazzles. Sharp went three-for-five with three RBI and two runs scored. Sharp tripled in a run in the third frame before blasting a home run off the top of the wall in right center field in the fifth stanza. Sharp also singled in a run in the ninth inning, leaving him just a double shy of the cycle.

Hobson & Molinaroli Have Solid Games

In the second game of the series against Emmanuel, Jack Hobson and Capers Molinaroli had solid efforts. Molinaroli had a pair of singles while Hobson had a single and a double. The two combined to go four-for-eight with one RBI and a run scored.
