2007 Flames Seek Ignition

The Trump Tower Flames opened their 3rd season with a disappointing 18-8 loss to the Hitmakers. Moving to Wednesday evenings in 2007, the Flames sought a change of opponents and scenery but the result in week one was similar to hard luck losses in 2006.

The Flames got off to a fast start with a leadoff home run in the first by Sean "Slim" Cameron and added another run in the first before scoring 4 runs in the 2nd inning to take a 6-4 lead after 2 innings.

From there, the bats went silent as Trump Tower scored only 2 runs the rest of the game (including being shut out in the last 3 innings), to lose 18-8.

While the Flames showed flashes of excellence, the team will need to tighten up its defense and get its big bats going if it wants to compete for the league championship.

The game also marked the debut of new additions to the 2007 Spring team: Steve (now part of the Maltese connection with Kris Borg-Olivier), Lesley, Julianna and the ex-cowtown duo of Ryan and Jenn.
