It was a late-season game in another year without a playoff berth, but in 90 frenzied minutes goalkeeper Andre Blake displayed the type of natural ability and grit that made him the No. 1 pick in the 2014 Major League Soccer SuperDraft by the Union.
In a match that more resembled a pinball game, Blake kept diving; bouncing; and, most importantly, saving shot after shot surely destined to reach the back of the net.
The Union earned a 1-1 draw at the New England Revolution in that Sept. 26 game, but Blake's record-setting performance was a good sign for the present and certainly the future.
