Sevec's Walk-Off Solo HR gives OBI Split with Warning Track Power in a 19-18 Thriller ...

OBI started slow against WTP again this season, taking it on the chin 9-19 in Game 1 last night. We did launch 5 HRs in the game, unfortunately, only 2 counted... DC and KC went back to back for HR Outs,,, then later, JR quit dipping and fired up his own HR Out swing...

Other than a seven run third inning, the OBI offense was fairly stagnant in Game 1.

Game 2 saw us jump out early, going up 14-5 after 3 innings of play. This included an 8 run inning in the third, highlighted by JR's 3-run bomb. All total, we homered 4 times in Game 2, making it 9 Big Flies for the night (an OBI record for 2014,, LOL) ...

Our 4-6 hitters (DC, KC, and Spillane) were 11-11 scoring 8 runs and driving in 10 on 3 doubles, a triple and 2 HRs. 

But I digress,,, up 17-5 going to the top of the 5th inning, WTP scored an 8 spot to get back into the game. In the bottom of the 6th with two out, an 18-14 lead and less than 5 seconds to play, Chris Nuta struck out allowing WTP to bat in the top of the 7th (Ok, this isn't the only reason, just the most fun to write about). In the inning, the visitors were able to score 4 runs on a solo and finally a 3-run HR to tie the game at 18...

Steve Sevec then led off the bottom of the 7th inning with the shot heard round the world,, well, at least around Field 3,,, as he stroked a HR to RC field for our 9th and most timely Big Fly of the night ...

Following are the stats for Season 1, Week 1 ... In this case, also known as the YTD stats ;~) ...
