Midlife Crisis Outslugs OBI to Earn Week 6 Split

OBI was not able to take game 2 in week 6's matchup with Midlife Crisis. MLC simply outhit OBI to stay in the race for the #1 for the 2014 Season 1 Tourney.

However, with OBI's game 1 victory, we remain in control of our own destiny for the tourney. Worst case scenario going into the final week of Season 1's regular season is being tied for first and holding a tiebreaker over Diamondback Pools.

Victory in Game 1 was all about a fast start and a late inning spurt. OBI welcomed back Michael from illness as he started the first inning scoring with a triple to RF driving in Clint. Steven closed out the innings scoring with a 2-run double (his first of 2 in the game).

The offense stayed quiet in the next 3 innings sans Jayse's double that scored Ryan. Then, Back To Life bumper stickers paid off as OBI plated 6 more runs in the bottom of the 5th inning. DC and Spillane sent Big Fly's hurtling into the night and Larry drove in in 2 runs with the last of the Steve, Matt, and Larry back-to-back-to-back Doubles penciled in the book.

Steven was an exemplary lead off hitter in Game 2 with his 4-4 performance that included a solo line drive HR. Scoring was scattered and inconsistent,,, exactly what we plan to change against Skeleton Crew next week. Two wins and the #1 seed will be ours,,, muahhahahaa....
