Into Every Life, A Little Rain Must Fall ,,,

One Bad Inning (3-5) lost two highly contested games to a solid Just Show Up (4-0) squad that won both games with timely hitting. OBI was solid on defense though was the recipient of a few unlucky bounces and was less consistent at the plate than we needed to be on this first real chilly November night.

OBI held JSU to a big fat 0 in the top of the first of Game 1 and promptly tallied 8 in the bottom half... We followed that inning by scoring only 1 more run and were down 9-12 going into the final inning. JSU scored 14 in the top of the 6th inning to go up 26-9 and then J.R. took control and showed off his improved swing with a 3-run Big Fly capping the scoring.

Game 2 started with 4 runs in the top of the first as DC and Spillane homered followed by Humberto legging out a Triple, scoring on a Jayse Sac Fly. OBI remained consistent at the dish lead 6-0, 8-2, and then 11-7 after four innings...

The sixth and final inning of Game 2 proved problematic as much as Game 1's. After stretching the lead in the top to 12-9, JSU scored 4 runs to sweep the double header with a final of 13-12...

Donkey,,, errr,, Spillane, was bloodied by the ball as much as he put a hurtin' on it as well... Hitting three, yes, 3 Home Runs in Game 2 only ,,, well, only one really counted scoring wise,,, but all three make the stat sheet...

Have gone with a different format this time... No minimum 2 Plate Appearances for the remainder of the Season 6 stats (at least until final stats are posted) and the top 3 in each category are highlighted in Red while the Leader's tally is Bolded ...
