OBI 2-1 in Season 6 Tourney Is Good For 5th Place ...

2013 finished up with a bang rather than the typical whimper OBI has produced in season ending tournies. We scored 58 runs in the 3 games and netted two impressive victories in the process...

Game 1 final score was 22-7 over the 11th seed Skeleton Crew. The impressive stat here is that the 22 runs were scored over 3.1 innings at the plate ... Time ran out after 3 batters in the bottom of the 4th inning. The first three innings, OBI put up 4, 9, and another 9 spot ,,, on very good hitting ... In fact, OBI was 30-39 as a team for a .769 hitting clip ...

Game 2 was a loss ,, however, OBI battled till the end in a 23-14 loss as time expired after 5 1/2 innings of play. AAA AZ was the better team this time, and deserved the win. 

Game 3 was a defensive switcheroo as some folks switched up between outfield and infield. There were a few bumps defensively, but it did not matter as the offense rolled once again to the tune of 22-13 as OBI batted around twice for the fifth time in the 3 games this evening ...

There are many accolades that should be handed out for offense and defense in this 58 point effort. The one that stands out the most was J.R.'s contribution. Injured, he showed up simply to support the team but was forced into catching. At the plate, J.R. was 8-12 with a Triple, 5 runs scored, and 10 RBIs ... Thanks for being our 10th Man !!!

Following are the stats for Season 6,,, 2013 Totals,,, and an additional report breaking down 2013 by Season for each Individual Player ... I will bring a print out of these stats to Thursday's games for review also ...

Thanks to my fellow OBIers for their effort, camaraderie, beers and more in 2013 ...  Am looking forward to see what 2014 has in store for us !!!




Apparently, I need to figure out how to get a 4 page PDF onto the blog ... The first page is shown here, and I will leave it since it has the Top Seasons Totals page ... Pages 2-4 to come ...
