Season 2 Tourney Provides a Stampede as Split City Overun by Runnin' Fools
7th seed OBI scored 3 runs with 2 outs in the top of the first against 2nd seed Runnin' Fools this past Thursday in the Season 2 Playoff Game #1. The Fools were not impressed and rolled up 7 of their own in the bottom of the first and a total of 14 runs over theier 4 at bats to win going away 14-3...
Yes, the offense for Split City took the rest of the game off and that was that... In fact, we had 5 hits in the first inning and 4 more in the final four. Our Consolation Game was against the lower division Diamondback Pools. This was a good game that OBI came out on the winning end of with consistent hitting (WHAT?!?!?!!??) and defense (typical, what ever)...
Game 2 Lineup was made courtesy of Matt. A reverse order of Game 1 including a daring move placing the coach in the 11th batting position. Fortunately, it worked out in the 14-8(ish) win.
Clint and I both request that each OBIer permanently pretend we are playing against Diamondback Pools each and every week from Here to Eternity. 'Nuff Said...
All seemed to point towards Split City/OBI moving back to D2 for Season 3. Alas, we belong in D1, well, for at least another season anyways. Joining us are the likes of MidLife Crisis, Murphy's Law, and Mammas Boys,,, along with those D1 teams that were solid the past two seasons.
Stats are being compiled for Season 2 at this time. Will be posted by end of the week.

Split City Rolls and Will Face Runnin' Fools in Season 2 Playoffs
*** IMPORTANT NEWS: We have just been informed that Shock Therapy actually defeated Runnin' Fools last Thursday and went 2-0 against them during the season. Thus, 9-5 Shock Therapy will host 3-11 Split City in the Quarterfinals of this weeks Thursday Night Playoffs !!! *** (You are now returned to your original programming) ...
3-11 Split City took down 8-6 Shock Therapy in Game 1 and then fell to 10-4 Runnin' Fools in the nightcap. Shock Therapy took two on the chin and fell from second seed to 3rd seed. OBI and Runnin' Fools will meet in Round 1 with the winner most likely facing Shock Therapy in the semi-finals.
Although these may well be two winnable games, OBI has been much more Two~n~Out than Split City this season. The question is,,, which of the 3 teams shows, Two~n~Out, Split City, or OBI???
With Jakob, Matt and Clint absent for Game 1 this week, an old friend dropped by to fill in and give us the boost we needed, KC. His 3-4 performance and play at 2B did nothing but fuel the OBI fires and our play showed it.
Jayse and Ron replaced Matt and Clint at 1&2 in the game and were a combined 4-8. Respectable and just what we needed from them, both were timely when we needed it. Hitting in the 3rd thru 8th spot were John, Spillane, KC, Paul, Nuta, and Michael. These 6 spots in the order Each went 3-4 and scored 12 of the teams 18 runs.
With the score 12-9 going into the final inning, OBI brashly put up a 5 spot to push the lead to 8 following Larry's lead off hit. Shock Therapy was done and unable to mount any sort of comeback. With another fine outing, JR picked up the win and continues to rule game 1s.
After an hour off drinking and cavorting, Split City scored two runs in a failed attempt at a sweep. Won't Runnin' Fools be surprised when we show up sober this week ;~)

Albeit Slightly Overstated,,, Split City Returns to Fulfill Prophecy
OBI laid down and played dead against league leading The Heights. Our record dropped to 1-10 as OBI mustered 5 runs in the second inning. We managed 4 hits combined in the other 4 innings at the dish.
Jayse, JR, Ron, and Nuta started the second inning with hits. With two runs already in, Matt singled and Clint doubled, both scoring runs. Jakob capped the inning off with a Sac Fly. Bam, 5 runs,,, OBI, take the rest of the game off...
Honestly, JR pitched a good game, the Defense was sturdy, but The Heights bats were too much for Field 4 to contain. Things were not looking well after the 19-5 run rule.
However, as predicted, prognosticated, prophesied, masticated, or possibly ,,, ya, will leave that one out of this quickly disintegrates into a big swirling pile of ,,, any ways, the Epic Return of Split City was realized with a fine performance by all if not most of the OBIers.
Coyote Towing was the game 2 opponent and Split City was not to be denied. After giving up 5 in the top of the first inning, OBI's bats clicked to score 4 with Jayse and JR reaching base with a single and walk. Then, with two outs, Leo doubles in both, Matt follows with a Triple and Client cleans up the bases with a single.
Michael reached base on a fluke drive to the left field wall (my swing sucks big blue ones right now) in the bottom of the second. Paul pushed him to 3rd on a ground out to second and then Jayse scored him with the 2nd out of the inning. Small ball at its finest.
Down 2 in the bottom of the 3rd, Ron lead off the inning with a HR,, Big Fly,, huh, oh, I mean, Inside the Parker. Close enough... Still a 4-bagger. Stop yelling at me, Blue! but i digress... Leo Tripled an out later and Matt hit a Sac Fly to tie the game at 7.
The score went all Led Zepplin (song remains the same-ish) for a few innings till the bottom of the 6th when Jakob led off with a single and moved up on an out to second base. Eventually, scoring with 2 outs on Jayse's single. 8-7 going to the 7th, very exciting.
Coyote Towing earned 3 runs on good hitting and baserunning. This put the pressure squarely on Split City's back,,, and here is what happened...
Ron and Nuta single to lead off the inning. With the tying runs on base, and Leo at the plate one HR short of a cycle,,, he mearly TRIPLED to tie the game. Calmly, Matt stepped into the box and delivered his second Sac Fly of the Night giving Split City the come from behind victory and ensuring our 7th place finish in Season 2's D1 Thursday Night division based upon our 2-10 record.
Whew, what a game,,, Congrats to OBI for returning to Split City form. Tonight, it is Split City again !!! Mainly cuz we actually have a Split Double Header to Party with... We will be missing a few folks but expect at least one old friend to join us... We shall see...
