8-4 OBI took it on the
chin in both games this past week. Game 1 loss was to Warning Track
Power 14-17 in a game where we fought our way back into the game 3 times
in the last 4 innings. And Game 2 was a 9-10 loss to Mamma’s Boys where
both offenses were inconsistent and flashed brilliance late.
Though losing twice, OBI retained a share of first place and needs just one win this week versus We Ain’t Dead Yet to clinch a spot in The Dance, aka Season 2 Tourney. Let’s take care of business in Game 1 this week and enjoy the spoils with a relaxing Game 2…
Looking at the sweep, we have to give both our pitching, offense, and defense credit… This was the first time in 2016 that we have been swept at the D2 level. The last losing sweep was nearly four months ago on January 14th in 2015/Season 5/Week 6 (two full seasons ago) against The Boys R Back on field 4…
OBI was resilient in Game 1 but fell behind too far late to comeback. OBI scored 3 in the bottom of the 3rd to pull back within 6-7, then 2 in the 5th to make it 8-11. However, WTPs 6 spot in the top of the 6th was the difference, even though we scored 6 of our own,,, it was just too much to overcome on this night.
Clint, Juan, and Spillane each tripled and drove in 6 of our 14 runs. Jayse, Mando, and Michael each had 3 hits. The bottom 5 of the order were solid as well going 9-14 and led the way in the attempted comeback during our final at bat. Paul, Nuta, Tom, JR, Larry, and newcomer Brian turned it over well to the top of the order.
Not much to be said about Game 2 other than Michael made some questionable coaching decisions that did not work out to our advantage. That and Paulie had 3 hits leading off with Brian, Larry, Matt, Juan and Mando each collecting 2 hits. Paul’s triple and Spillane’s 2nd inning Inside the Park Home Run were about as exciting as we got on this night.
Both JR (swinging) and Michael (not) struck out on the evening. It will be beer-30 this Thursday Night for my K I tell ya!!!
Games this week are on Field 6 at 8 & 9 against We Ain’t Dead Yet… Again, win one and we are in…
