You can't take anything away from him. He was good today. Just ran out of gas in the end." With Catalina Foothills leading 5-4 in the bottom of the third inning, Dwyer blasted a two-run home run — his fourth of the season — over the right field wall to extend the advantage to 7-4.
"We just couldn't get out of it," Robertson said."Don't take anything away from them, they were just pounding the ball that inning and finding some barrels. You let those type of great-hitting teams get a couple extra outs, they're going to hurt you, and they got us pretty good."
