No Home Runs vs. Warning Track Power Yet OBI Sweeps!

Season 4 finds 18 teams set to go on Thursday Nights. However, only 3 D1 teams in the bunch so 2 groups were randomly created of 8 & 10 teams. In Group 2 is where you find OBI,,, and D1 Champ DL,,, and D2 Champ Those Guys. Good Stuff as we are always up for a good challenge.

First up was Warning Track Power. With Larry on vacation in Colorado, Juan handled the pitching duties. The defense was pretty solid behind him as WTP scored only 11 runs in 13 innings winning Game 1 9-8 with 4 consecutive hits to start the bottom of the 6th inning and Game 2 9-3...

The hardest thing in the way seemingly was Michael's head as a bad hop took him down. However, up before the count was completed he made it and then played angry afterwards. Comments from WTP and OBI were bantered about of how improved my play was post bad hoppage. But I digress...

In Game 1, OBI led 5-1 after 4 only to have WTP score 5 in the top of the 5th. Both teams scored 2 in each at bat the last inning and a half to reach the 9-8 final score. Fillin Brent , Matt and John all singled prior to Brian's walk off Double.

In Game 2, after WTP tied the game 3-3 after 2,,, it was all OBI offensively,,, well and defensively as well:

-- Tom lead the way with 2 Walks. (Good Ol' Steve would be proud)

-- Brian, Michael, Nuta and Brent each had 3 hits.
-- Brent and John each had 2 RBIs
-- Matt had 3 RBIs to top them

In total, we had 40 hits on the night and scored 18 runs. Not bad on field 4 in 110 degree weather... Hope they get the AC fixed on field 4 soon.... Whew!!!
