- 6-4 Diamondback Pools/Cadcon took 2 on the chin, losing to 5-5 Empty Pitchers.
- 7-3 Mamma's Boys split with 3-7 No Glove No Love.
- 8-2 OBI came from a Game 2 12-1 deficit to win 14-13 by scoring 3 in the bottom of the 7th inning and sweep 1-9 BMW.
Play this week was offensively impressive in Game 1 and we even showed some grit in Game 2.
The four inning affair that was Game 1's 19-3 route was mostly about timely hitting, gifts from the generous benefactors playing BMW's Defense, and some decent defense. The big story of the night may be Jacob's three walks that have put him atop the category for Season 6. Or it just might be the BMW Defense, tough call...
The top of the first was highlighted by Michael's 2-run triple (aka, Single to Left that passed thru the fielders legs and rolled to the fence). In the second inning, OBI built an 8-0 lead by scoring 5 runs. This inning featured a second walk by Jacob and Nuta's Home Run (aka, Single to LC that passed thru the fielders legs and rolled to the fence).
John scored the first out of the third inning. And the final out of the inning. In between, OBI pushed across 9 runs that included a 3-run Triple (aka, Single to Left that passed thru the fielders legs and rolled to the fence) by Matt... No mention will be made in this blog posting about consecutive hits to LF (aka dropped popups) by anyone, especially third basemen. 'Nuff said...
Game 2 started slow and we led 1-0 after one inning. The first batter made an out, and we scored a run in spite of that fact,,, both in Game 1 and 2. A good sign.
What was not a good sign was a stupid yellow ball that would not find its way into our gloves in the top of the second. Instead, BMW hopped out to a 10-1 lead which inflated to 12-1 going into the bottom of the third.
OBI scored 3 in the third, 5 in the fourth, and one each in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings. Hitting was contagious as each player did what they do best and did not try to force the issue.
Down 13-11 going to the seventh, the Defense held BMW scoreless for the 3rd time in four innings. In the last half, OBI was led by John and Paul singling to begin the parade. A deep drive to CF by JR was run down but the fielder was unable to control the ball. This put the tying run on third and winning run on 2nd base.
Simple enough, both Nuta and Larry produced run scoring singles that gave us the win, sweep, and D2 Division lead going into December play. Keep on Keepin' On OBI !!!
-- DC and Steve have qualified and will win the Batting Average and On Base PCT titles in 2014.
-- Nuta may qualify but both Paul and Jacob will fall just short.
-- Matt, Larry and JR will have played the most games.
-- Okay, enough hints ;~)
-- At seasons end, along with 2014 YTD stat posting, the 2013-2014 stats will be accumulated and a sheet covering both years included in the blog.
