Split City Gives DL first loss since June

3-1 DL and 3-1 OBI battled in two painful games. Well painful for me as I was only supposed to DH. Alllllready digressing, fail! Well may also have been painful offensively for us as we scored 10 runs total, yet wonderful with a 5 run rally in the bottom of the 7th in Game 2 to win 7-6. 

Game 1 was painful after the top of the first where we scored 3 runs. Michael walked, Jayse and Juan then singled. Brian doubled in 2 and after Tom walked, JR did the same to push across a run.

JR also singled in the 4th inning. Those 4 hits were it during our 5 at bats... Four for 19 hitting wise... Run Ruled 3-13 in 5...

As depressing as that might have been, OBI was down 2-3 after two innings in Game 2. In the bottom of the first, Jayse singled and Spillane doubled, Brian followed with an RBI single and Tom hit a Sac Fly. 'Nuff Said...

And then both teams bats went silent for 3 more innings. DL scored 3 in the top of the sixth... More silence till the bottom of the 7th.
-- Brian singled but a bad call by the blue had him thrown out trying to advance on a 5-3-4 putout.
-- Tom singled followed by a JR Double.
-- Fill in Nick drove in a run with a single.
-- Then, Larry lined one over the outfielders heads for an RBI Double.
-- With the score 4-6, Matt Doubled in 2 to tie it up and Michael was intentionally walked to put a force in play at 1st, second and third.
-- Jayse nearly won the game with his single but the LC Fielders diving effort kept Matt from scoring.
-- Walk-Off Single ALERT !!! Juan drove a single mightily up the middle to score the winning run...

Great comeback after a long night of sleepy bats... Our 14 for 30 effort in this game brought our total to 18 for 49... .367 team average and a split against DL with only 9 healthy players,,, my hat is off to the team...
