No So Triumphant Return...

3-11 (and #8 seed) OBI layed two eggs this Thursday by taking it on the chin 4-15 and 1-12. The 5 runs scored in two games is a season low that will be tough to duplicate, fingers crossed. The two losses put us into a play-in game for the Season 4 tourney, which starts Thursday at 6:15 on field 1 vs. #9 see Murphy's Law.

Game 1 was all about hitting: 
  • Our opponents hit consistently throughout the game, scoring 14 runs in 4 innings at bat.
  • OBI had one hit that drove in a run.
    • Michael returned from 2 week sabatical and tripled in 2 runs then scored on a ground out by Larry.
    • Fourth run scored on a Sac Fly by John.
  • OBI had 10 hits in their 5 innings at bat.
    • Both Matt and Juan collected two.
  • Nuta is recovering from a foul bat taken across the nose. As is a key subject in Major League Baseball, broken bats do enter the stands from time to time. Thus, all should be mindful of flying debris (but I digress).
Game 2 was all about hitting:
  • Our opponents hit consistently throughout the game, scoring 12 runs in 5 innings at bat.
  • OBI had five hits, total.
    • JR raked two hits and scored the lone OBI run.
    • Matt, Jayse and Michael each had one hit.
    • Spillane, John, and Juan each had one plate appearance.
    • Interestingly, the run was scored on a Fielders Choice by Larry.
  I think enough has been said about our lack of offense again.

Bring your $75 this week for Season 5. See ya there for the 6:15pm game on 1 !!!
