MBoys took advantage of a couple defensive miscues and scored 5 runs to take Game 1. In Game 2, the air seemed to be gone from Split City's bubble in an unspirited 6-10 loss. Defensive lapses will occur from time to time, as do OBI's offensive inconsistencies, the good news is that we will continue to improve as the season goes along. There have been several players who have made the same positive comments about the early Season 3 play that you have read in the blog.
Now, if people would stop taking every other week off, going to DBacks games, being unable to avoid other drivers on the streets of Phoenix, and,,, maybe most importantly, keep their priorities in order and play less Tourney ball. Sheeeeeeesh !!!
Game 1's loss was a heart breaker. However, did anyone else notice that J.R. seems to be on a roll offensively and on the mound? (He even caught a line drive at 1B on Tuesday night,, Wh, Wha, Whaaat !!! I know right?) J.R.'s Big Fly put us up momentarily 9-8 in the top of the third inning. And I believe was the catalyst for the 5 run fourth that Almost sowed up the game.
Hitting was impressive as everyone had at least one hit and either scored a run or drove one in... Jakob lead the way with a 4-4 game, while Matt and Clint both had 3 hits at the top of the order. Jayse also raked it for 3 hits.
Game 2 was a rather lackluster affair and OBI lost (as stated above) 6-10 in 7 innings. John and Lucas had 2 hits a piece, while Clint and J.R. each had 3. Blah, Blah, Blah... We need more offense and our Shortstop needs more emphasis on the Stop in his position name. Just sayin'
This weeks games have been moved up and we have a 6:15 start. We will be playing Coyote Towing both games... Cya Tonight!
Season 3 stats are in Da' Hooouuuussee!!!
