OBI Game 2 Comeback Nets a Tie after Game 1 Blowout of Skeleton Crew

Chris Nuta brought the Bulletin Board material in the form of the current Season 6 Standings and posted them in the dugout. With OBI's Point Differential being well into negative numbers and all tied for next to last at 3-5 ,,, the call to offense was heeded by the entire squad... Fact is,,, OBI did not score in the 4th inning of Game 2,,, and that was the only Doughnut put up by OBI on this chilly evening that was.

4-5-1 OBI tied a Game High for 2013 with 21 runs in Game 1. We last scored 21 runs in Week 7 of Season 1. The loss drops Skeleton Crew to 3-6-1, thus we should move up the Standings list for next week. Nuta will need to find new motivation ... Though marked 11th in the current standings, we were actually tied for 7th annnnnd,,, were only 1 game out of a tie for 4th... LOL

Game 1 began with a 3-Run Bomb by KC to Left Field. The second inning found Steven driving in two with a double and scoring a run himself. Inning 3's five run outburst was highlighted by Jayse's fixed swing and 5 consecutive hits.

Then, a major hit parade rolled out as OBI batted around in the 4th inning and scored 9 more runs. Spillane's inside the park HR was followed up by the second half of the order continuing their assault on Field 5 ...

Game 2 was a back and forth affair with KC strokin' another Big Fly in the second inning. Steven hit his second Sac Fly in 2 games giving him more SFs than BBs in one evening than modern history can recall...

Down 3 heading into the bottom of the 5th (and last) inning,,, OBI scored 2 to tie on JR's single with two outs. Ryan's continued his good hitting with a line drive in the next at bat ,,, however, the SS had him perfectly played and 13-13 tie ended up better than a loss...

Am guessing we move up to the middle of the pack standings wise... Whew, just out of the reach of a Nuta printout ...

This weeks .600 average is the 10th time we achieved the mark in 2013,,, and only the third time since the beginning of Season 4... Keep it rolling OBIers !!!
