Game 1 was a 17-7 victory where OBI produced the runs in 5 innings. After scoring 4 in each of the first 2 innings and building an 8-3 lead,,, OBI never looked back.
The fun started with Steve's 3 pitch Walk in the first and J.R.'s lead off Triple in the second inning. Six players had extra-base hits in the game and all but Larry reached base safely. Larry made some changes to his swing that looked positive (more on this later).
Michael and KC each collected 3 RBIs on 3 hits. This was an all around good, consistent hitting effort. Could OBI complete the night with another good game?
The Runnin' Fools offense scored 5 runs in the top of the first in Game 2. OBI struck back in the bottom half with 7 of their own, highlighted by a 3-run inside-the-park HR off Larry's bat (ding, ding!!).
The R'Fools kept up their pace and plated another nickel to take a 10-7 lead... OBI batted around for the second consecutive inning and did the same by scoring another touchdown (and extra point),,, regaining the lead 14-10. Whew! in only 2 innings WTH?!?!!!
Things were just heating up, folks... R'Fools tied it at 14 going into the 4th and final inning of Game 2 (darn clock wound down real fast, prolly due to all the running around the bases on the field) and then scored another 2 taking a 16-14 lead to the bottom half of the last inning.
Larry's new swing changes netted a leadoff Triple and he scored on Tino's single. Clint sandwiched a single between 2 outs. This brings us to DC, batting with the tying run on third, the Winning run on first,,, and there are two outs... Well, Casey at the Bat struck out... And OBI's DC, did Not !!!
One of the biggest weapons in baseball is the 3-Run Home Run... And that is exactly the cure for our ills this night... A walk-off Big Fly pushed the score to 18-16 and all is well in the world for one more week...
Excellent job OBI !!! Keep this up and more things will be written about you in a similar positive light. or Not !!!
