We should change our name to the "Splits"

Well another tough split for the Stripes against a Vox Sox team that benefitted from timely hitting. The Sox ran out to an early 9-1 lead in the first game. The Stripes' bats didn't get going until it was too late, finally rallying in the bottom of the last inning to make it closer. Final score: 9-5.

The Second game proved to be a role reversal from the first. The Stripes' bats were hot early with the hi-lite a bomb by Dan Meehan over the right field fence. AZ scare in the bottom of the last inning brought the Sox back to within 2, but their rally fell short and we were victorious by a count of 10-8.

After the game the "cool kids" patronized our sponsor and convinced them to re-up for another season of sponsorship. Thanks to Stars and Stripes. Make sure you eat a lot of food there and save your receipts.

Memorial Day break is upon us, hit the cages if you can so you don't come back hitting like Jeff Morris (just kidding buddy).

See you in 2 weeks.

Mother Nature clearly hates freedom.

And Softball.

And the "Stars and Stripes" (which I guess gets us back to my first point).

Hit the cages.

A Tough Split for the Stripes

Last night the Stripes' bats came out to play in the first game, maybe not so much in the second. And in the process, we earned a split with the tough-hitting Medium Pace team.

Game one was a tit-for-tat, back and forth game with 31 total runs scored. The Stripes put a 6 spot up in the bottom of the 6th to go up by 4, only to see that lead erased in thr top of the 7th. With the score tied, Jeff Donald started the inning with a liner and Al Boyd was walked. Garrett lined a single to right center and Jeff Donald rounded 3rd and sprinted for home. A good throw would have made the play close, but Jeff scored and we won, 16-15. It was the type of gritty win we've come to expect of the Stripes.

Game 2 just was not as close. Medium Pace kept their bats humming and it seemed that after the 2nd inning we were never in it. The final score of 18-8 reflected that.
