As the Winds Blow, So Does OBI,,, All the Way Back into D2...

One Bad Inning is on the move,,, back to the Lower Division in Thursday Night Men's Softball at Victory Lane Sports Park.

This truism despite a productive offensive outing in the Season 4 Tournament where the team scored 27 runs in only two games. What seems a slightly above average outing to most was an explosion by Season 4 standards. Hell, we scored 5 runs just the week before...

The offense was potent this week and I think we can all agree that one factor was the key. The wind was blowing out at about 100mph forcing OFers to play deeper than normal as pop flies were warning track depth at times.

Irrespective of the wind direction, mostly we saw line drives off everyone's bat and that was good to see. Our defense, though not particularly spectacular, was solid as we typically play it.

Clint was super solid in Game 1 with a 4-4 effort and there three hits each by Jakob, Juan, Paul and Nuta. Game 2 was less offensive, in fact it was more about Juan's Big Fly and 7 RBIs than anything in our 11-13 loss.

With the move back to D2, a few changes have been made to our lineup. Ok, very few...

-- Jakob is moving to #1 spot in the order.
-- Matt is moving to #2 spot in the order. 
-- Jayse is moving to #3 spot in the order.

Week 1 we will be missing Jakob and John, but have Armando as a fill-in. Field 2 at 6:15 & 7:15 gents... Let's begin rebuilding our missing attribute(s) and prepare ourselves to return to D1 someday in the near future... Goooooo OBI...
