Consistency at Plate and On the Field Garners Double Header Sweep

One Bad Inning swept Midlife Crisis and Mammas Boys this past Thursday, 1/16. Both games were 5-inning run rules thanks to a consistent offense and defense (though our SS needs to use 2 hands to catch the ball at times) ...

Clint returned, after a week off to hack his lungs out,,, and helped the OBI offense get kick started with a 4 run home-half of the 1st in Game 1 versus Midlife Crisis. With the lead at 4-1 going into the bottom of the third, OBI opened with 4 hits and a BB on the way to tallying 6 more runs.

Midlife Crisis answered with 5 of their own in the top of the fourth but OBI took a 11-6 lead to the bottom half of the fifth. Jayse and Matt started the inning with a Double and Triple, respectively. And then with two outs, DC ended the game with a run-rule topping 3-Run HR for a 17-6 score...

Game 2 started in opposite fashion versus Mammas Boys. OBI put up an egg followed by MBs 3 spot in the bottom of the first. OBI answered back in the top of the second with JR and Nuta both reaching base,,, followed by 7 of the next 8 batters helping us score 8 runs while sending 12 to the plate.

Next, OBI bats around again in the third whilst scoring 6 runs. 8 of 11 batters reached base including the first six. Michael, DC, and KC all reached via Double during three consecutive at bats ...

Again, Consistency won out this week. Let's continue the trend as we meet the 4-0 Diamondback Pools squad next week on Field 1 in 8:15/9:15 games...
