Once again, the Stripes bats were hot out of the gate in game 1 against the Sliders. Duplicating our effort last week, we scored 16 runs and beat the Sliders 16 - 9. Dave Buttner, solid as always in the lead-off spot went 4-4 and almost incited a bench-clearer after a Bush League play by the Sliders shortstop. And then there was Al "Pop" Schneider, who was 3-3 with 3 runs 4 rbis and legged out a nice triple.
Game 2 was a different story as the Stripes bats, with the exception of the second inning when we scored 5 of our 7 runs, went cold. In 3 straight innings we went 3 -and-out and actually had a string of 8 straight fly ball outs. A late rally flamed out as we fell short by the score of 9 - 7.
Special mention to Brad Battista for a fine pitching performance.
Next Games are at 6:30 at the same Shirley "Don't call me Gunston although I have no idea why I'm called Shirley" Park, against a tough Cobra Kai team.

off considerably in the second. Despite a rally in the bottom of the
last inning, we fell two runs short of tying the game. I realize I got
overly excited in our defensive half of the last inning, abetted by some
delayed calls, actually non-calls, by the umpire that resulted in at
least one extra run for our opponents. If I offended anyone, I
apologize."
