Sautel was all over the field this night, playing both his native Short Stop and showing good range in Right Field.  He had two highlight plays deep in the hole at short where he was able to showcase his quick feet and accurate arm (80 mph inf velo) over to first base getting both runners by two steps.  At the plate Sautel continued his hot hitting from the Labor Day Tournament, going 2-3 with 1 RBI.  On the fall season he has a .727 average with 3 RBI and 2 stolen bases.
