Split City Keeps on a Rollin'

And we are not talking double plays here ... 7-5 One Bad Inning lost for a second time to a 5-6-1 Midlife Crisis that is on a 4 game roll, and then fought mightily-ish to down 1-9-2 Mamma's Boys 9-8 on a walk off single by DC.

We welcomed back Borracho Juan this week. His 4-6 effort included a Big Fly and 2 Doubles (the doubles may or may not have made it onto the first run of the stat sheet, d'oh. Okay, they didn't, but they are there now ;~) ...

Game 1 against a fun rival in Midlife Crisis was a tale of two cities type experience,,, the top half of the order (1-6) was a combined 5 for 19, scoring and driving in exactly no runs at all. Our 7-11 hitters did all the damage going 8 for 14 while scoring and driving in all 5 of our runs in the 5-10 loss.

Game 2, the top 6 rolled better to the tune of a 12 for 20 clip and the second half of the lineup also raked it decently at 6-15 (down a bit from game 1). The hitting was more consistent and OBI, errr, Split City was able to happily earn the right to be called our new moniker one more week with the 9-8 win. Whew ...

This weeks games will be even more challenging as we will be missing 4 more players due to other important life happenings (work, retirement, church, and the like). We will be adding KC and Dean back to the mix. Plus Dre' was volunteered to help us out ... Should be a good warmup at 106 degrees for next weeks tournament.

The stats sadly reflect our ability to be consistently inconsistent,,, read at your leisure:
