We Don’t Need No Split City!!!

But most of the time, we do need 10 players…

OBI showed in full force versus Midlife Crisis this past week. The sweep was impressive as game scores were 20-6 and 15-0 …

Game 1 started with a phone call to Larry, who was sitting at his desk at work all the while thinking we had late games. Thus, we played on with 9 players until his arrival in the top of the 5th inning. JR was once again wildly effective on the mound and the defense almost didn’t suck behind him.

By the at time the game was well in hand as the score was 18-6. Larry did single and score in the inning.

We batted thru the order twice in the game, both in the second and fourth innings. Everyone scored at least one run with Spillane leading the way with 4.

DC batted 5 times, collected 5 hits and had only 2 RBIs. That is on Brian,,, as he had hits in his middle 3 at bats driving in 7 Runs with a Sac Fly (AB1), 2 Big Flies and a Double,,, then he tried to kill the pitcher. Quite the complete afternoon.

Tom had back-to-back Doubles, while Spillane did the same with Triples. Everyone had at lest two hits sans Larry who was just 1 for 1.


Game 2 was another run rule, but more importantly,,, a shutout. The 15-0 final was a quick and efficient game of 3  2/3 innings.

The home team was led by DC on the mound and a good defensive performance even with Michael playing in the OF #Scary…

No HRs recorded by Brian in this game but I did see another Sac Fly in the book. Clint led the way with 4 hits and Matt was 3-3.

Again, everyone scored at least one, with JR being the exception. But that is ok, he had the walk off hit driving in the 15th run to send us home early….


But then, Brian, Larry and I stayed and played two more games… I need a nap…






ps. we will clear up a few questions in the scorebook and have stats available later this week.
