Sweep of Skeleton Crew Caps Season 1 with Anticipated #1 Seed

One Bad Inning finished 11-3 and atop the standings in the 2014 Season 1 Regular Season. This in part due to a more consistent offense and defense,,, but totally really about the hearts of each and every member of the team.

OBI entered Week 7 needing 2 wins to guarantee the #1 seed. And earn them they did ...

Pitching and Defense were the biggest bright spot in Game 1's 13-0 victory. Larry sparkled on the mound,,, though, this possibly may have been leftovers from a recent date with an exotic dancer (or stripper as I like to call 'em) ,,, though, this is just a theory. Excellent plays were made in both the infield and outfield as well.

Offensively, OBI pushed across 5 runs in the home half of the first three innings with newly anointed leadoff hitter Steven collecting 2 triples in each of the odd numbered innings. In the bottom of the 4th, OBI batted around scoring 8 runs with an outburst that included HRs by David and Nuta, a Larry triple, and doubles by JR, Steven, and Michael.

In Game 2, OBI laid an egg in the top of the first, then promptly gave up 10 runs to the previously scoreless Skeleton Crew. Key word,,, Gave...

Skeleton Crew's fun lasted less than a half inning as OBI pushed across 11 in the top of the second inning. The first 7 batters of the inning scored. Almost as impressive as Steven's 2-2 inning that included a leadoff Double and a line-drive HR to cap the 2nd inning scoring.

After being behind 10-0 one inning into Game 2,,, OBI worked it and outdueled SC 18-3 for an 18-13 victory. This included goose eggs for Skeleton Crew over the last 3 innings of play. 

OBI should earn the only quarterfinal bye that goes with this seasons #1 seed in the upcoming Thursday, 2/27, Season 1 Tourney.  More to come as deets are available. Here are the Season 1 updated stats,,,
