1-3 Split City avenged 2-2 Murphy's Laws' opening salvo with a solid game 2 victory. MLaw took it to OBI 18-3 in a quick 4 inning affair that saw us send only 20 men to the plate in 5 innings. MLaw needed just 3 innings at bat to score their 18 runs.
OBI scored 2 in the second and another in the third for our tallies. John and Gary doubled to score the first run, then JR finished off the 2nd inning scoring with an RBI single. Clint scored on Spillane's Sac Fly in the third inning after Jayse's double moved him to third. Defensively, Michael's lineup was not conducive to converting opportunities to outs. He needs to get healthy and back on the field so others do Not need to continue playing out of position.
Game 2 saw MLaw jump out to a 4 run lead in the top of the first. Cheers abound as we held them under 5 runs,,, Yaaay !!! Split City did something different and made it a game in the bottom half, pushing across 4 to tie it up. Jakob and Clint singled and scored on Jayse's Triple. Then, after Spillane's RBI Double, Matt drove him home with a Triple of his own. When Larry singled later in the inning, our hit total came to 6 for the inning. We had 8 hits in 4 innings at the plate in Game 1, just for comparison.
The next inning and half was scoreless when OBI whipped out a can of Split City Magical Whoop Ass! Spillane and John singled, and Matt hit a Sac Fly to score Spillane. Then, the can of MWA was unleashed upon MLaw,,, as Gary Doubled, followed by consecutive singles by Larry, J.R., Michael, Jakob, and Clint bring our inning run total to 6. Spillane capped the scoring with one more single pushing runs 7 & 8 across in the process.
MLaw pushed back but was only able to score 3 runs in the top of the 4th inning. Amazingly, both OBI and MLaw went scoreless thru the 6th inning, where the game was called due to time. Final: 12-7... Great job this week everyone! See ya in December!!!
