REMAX Revolution Player of the Game for the Hoppers was Keiner Delgado….He went 3-5/Double/2 Runs/2 RBI, and he had a real nice play in the field, where he went to the ground to snag a ground ball, and then he threw from the ground, to get the runner going to first base….Some very nice grabs by Javier Rivas at shortstop, and his rifle arm, gets almost all runners, at all times…Rivas is sort of like Javier the Hoover(vacuum cleaner) at third base…
