Game 1 got busy in the top of the second inning with Paul walking and Larry, JR, and sub Gary each singling. Matt doubled in the final run of the inning after Michael's Sac Fly. Spillane got the third inning going with a single and then it was the Paul and Larry show as each singled with the second hit plating Spillane for the innings sole run.
Down 4-5 going to the top of the fourth inning, OBI sent 9 men to the plate. After Gary singled, Michael walked and Jayse singled to load the bases. What followed was a game changer, and most folks would have simply popped out to LF, but Juan's pop fly was High enough, and Deep enough, and Carried beyond the confines of field 4 for a Grand Slam. After the game changing,,,errrr epic blast, Spillane hit a seed to CF that netted him a Triple. He then scored as next sub Armando blasted a Sac Fly to CF.
With the score now 9-5, OBI went into hibernation mode on offense. Fortunately, the defense gave up only 3 runs over the final 3 MC at bats and the victory was ours...
Game 2 was quiet offensively and no longer a ball game after the MC's top of the third 9 runs that pushed the lead to 12-1. After Split City scored 4 in the bottom of the frame to bring it to 5-12, once again, the offense went to sleep. This time it was for 3 2/3 innings. Ouchitty...
The third inning highlights were singles by Larry, JR (ok, this was a double), Gary, and Michael (some of these names are repeated as they actually did produce in both games, holy foul ball Batman!)... Juan and Spillane later singled with each driving in a run. Then, in the 7th, (more copy/paste here LOL) Gary singled and scored on Michael's double.
Split City (aka OBI (aka One Bad Inning)) continues to experience a renaissance with scoring runs, yet sometimes we hit like we think it is still D1 teams we are battling... Continue to strive for consistency at the plate and in the field,,, fun and magic is just around the corner ;~)
