Welcome to D1 !!!

1-2-1 OBI has played well in the first two weeks of D1 play. Our Batting Averages are down for sure, but the defense has been enough to keep us in games to date.

After losing game 1 the first week by a score of 1-11, we battled well and ended in a 13-13 tie due to a good comeback on E-Machines part. Week 2 against Team Wear It was annoying as is the norm, but both games were hard fought and game 1 closer than the 18-7 final.

TWI scored 11 in the top of the first and led 12-7 after two innings. The OBI offense was a no show after that point, accumulating only 6 hits over the final four innings while hitting into 3 double plays.

Game 2 was all about OBI timely hitting and defense. Of 3 Sac Flies, two were the second out of the inning. Amazingly, 8 of the 9 runs were scored with two outs. Excellent Defense in the Outfield and Infield helped keep TWI scoring to two innings late in the game. Well, that and Larry's pitching...

Matt (2), John and Michael each tripled in the game, while Jayse moved into the HR title chase with an inside the parker... Mando, Jack, and Brian each had a Sac Fly...

The OBI team average was under .500 both the past two weeks. Once our offensive consistency returns back to snuff, the rest of the D1 teams better watch out... Or at least make them try harder, but that is another story...
