Coach Macari of the Lumberjacks baseball team smashed a grand slam home run in the fourth inning, leading the visitors to a 6-2 victory over the San Quentin Giants.
The game was tied 2-2 going into the top of the fourth inning. The Lumberjacks drew a walk and crushed singles up the middle and to center field to load the bases. That’s when Macari smashed a fastball over the right-center field fence.
“I kept extra focus on staying back,” Macari said. “I got an outside fastball, and I hit it.”
The Giants’ only offense came in the third inning. They rallied as Marcus Crumb got an infield hit and stole second, and Dwight Kennedy crushed a RBI single to center field. Dave Baker singled Kennedy home to tie the game, 2-2.
“I had a great experience, and we will be coming back,” said Macari, who played college baseball at the College of Marin and Missouri Valley College.
Demetrius Adam of the Lumberjacks said, “I want to say thanks, and we’re grateful,” said Adam.
