Stars fight it out for disappointing split
Well it was bound to happen. The Letdown. And this series had let down written all over it. the first place Stripes; the last place Cobra Kai. Daniel LaRussa, Johnny the DoucheBag.
It was clear that neither side had the bats working this evening, in our first early games of the year. It was apparent our gloves weren't working that well either. Stripes jumped out to an early lead on the Kai, thanks to another Dan Meehan moonshot. But then the bats went silent. Going into the bottom of the last inning, the stripes were down four. We rallied back to 8 -7 before a rifle throw from left field cut down Kessler at the plate for the final out.
Game 2 continued our trifling hitting performance. Until the last inning that is. Luckily, some great plays by Chapman in the outfield kept the Kai at bay (I'm sure you all know how painful it was for me to write that). Going into the last inning we were winning by 1, when our bats came alive, scoring 7 runs. Final score, 12-5.
Two weeks off now for the Memorial Day break. Stats and standings later in the week. Have a good holiday weekend.

The Kessler Split
A hard earned, if not pretty, kessler split tonight with CC Sember.
From the start it just seemed that our bats weren't all there tonight, well except for another moon shot from Meehan. In the bottom of the last inning, Stripes up by 2, Sember got the first to hitters on. 2nd and 3rd, no outs. They scored 2 to tie, then our defence shut 'em down. 2 come-backers to the pitcher and the game was over, tie score 10-10. Honorable Mention to Al Peterson for coming in in relief after the Jeff Morris injury.
The second game was a different story as we were able to string together a bunch of hits and runs. Bats of Chapman, Meehan and especially Kessler remained hot and Sember were never really in the game. Mercy rule score of 17-7.
SO....... the Stripes remain the lone undefeated team. Next up, the winless Cobra Kai. Early game next week.

Stripes Impressive Sweep Continue Winning Ways
Well, the Bats we certainly on display last night at Barcroft. 43 runs later the Stripes had a well-earned, hard-fought sweep of the dangerous PubZ team.
Game 1 was a seesaw battle. We were able to get out to an early lead, but going into the bottom of the last inning, we were up 4. PubZ got some early runners on base and and threatened before our defense was able to shut them down with the tying run on first. Final 21-20.
In game 2 PubZ got out to an early 10 run lea, but the Stripes fought back valiantly to go up 5 going into the last inning. PubZ was never able to muster a rally in the last inning. Final score, 22-18.
Special shout-out should go to Dan Meehan and Mike Chapman for their stellar night at the plate, and Lee at the Hot Corner. Truly a great set of games for the Stripes. Lots of character and grittiness on display.
Stay tuned for stats........

Stripes Bats Come Out to Play
The Stripes fought hard on Monday night and were a hair away from another sweep. We'll take the point and a half.
The first game was a back-and-forth battle between the two teams. After an error plagued start in the field, the Stripes defense tightened up, even turning an impressive double play. Leading by 4 going into the last inning, the Clouts bats did the trick and scored 9 runs. Trailing by 5 with time running out the Stripes played small ball. A key base hit brought in the tying run and before we could flinch Al Schneider was caught off 2nd base. A Tie it is. Final 18-18.
The second game wasn't even close. The Clouts bats went silent and the Stripes continued hitting. Final 21-9.
A good night for most, with buttner batting 1.000, Dan Meehan overcoming the Giambi-shift for a good night at the plate, and Morris doing his best Ozzie Smith impersonation in the field (we need to get Big Red to more games).
Stats to be posted later in the week.
