Anticipation is high for a good seed in the tournament. Either we will be in the top half of a 16 team bracket or we will have earned a #6 or #7 seed (ML estimated) in the Top 8 bracket. Either way, we are entering the Season 2 tournament this week...
In Game 1, OBI scored in all but the 5th inning. This was needful as the Knuckle Babies are a solid offense team themselves. Down 2-4 after the 2nd, OBI put up 4 and then a 3 spot in the 3rd and 4th innings, respectively. Highlights were a Big Fly in both innings, first by DC and then Tino. Both HRs plated 3 runs.
The Knuckle Babies fought back and tied the score at 9 going to the 6th and final inning. Then, OBI opened up a can of whoop ass,,, ok, well, we scored a solid 5 runs in the top half of the inning. Nuta, Spillane, and Tino singles preceded an off the wall double by Stephen and a triple by Michael. The KBabies fought back with 2 of their own, however, sharp leather play overcame good raking ...
Game 2 started slowly with OBI leading after 1 by a count of 2-0. The KBabies had their one good inning for the night and scored 6 runs in the top of the second inning. Answering back by batting through the lineup, OBI put up a 10 spot and never looked back.
KC homered in the second to put OBI back in front and with 2 out, Spillane's inside the park Grand Slam essentially put the game away pushing the lead to 12-6. DC followed up in the 3rd inning with another Big Fly as the lead extended to 16-8.
Spillane followed up in the 4th inning with the 3rd HR of the game (as in over 300') to edge the score further towards a run rule at 18-9. However, with time running out, the game would finish just that way...
Stay tuned for the Season 2 Tourney schedule announcement in the next couple of days ...
