Three weeks since our last game and the rust was evident. The Sliders bats showed up early, but our defense showed up too late. After 2 innings the Sliders had scored 10 runs, most of which were unearned as simple errors and mental mistakes plagued the Stripes. Yet we continued to claw back and were within two going into the bottom of the last inning, but could only muster 1 run. Final score, 12-11. Clearly a winnable game that we let get away from us early.
Game 2 was a different story. Our bats continued where they left off, getting out to an early lead that we never gave up. Our defense was much more solid and everyone up and down the lineup hit well. Final Score 14-7, but it was never even that close.
Good hitting all around, special mention to Dan who continued his hot hitting, hitting one homerun and coming 4 feet from a second, and Andrew who continues to hit out of his mind this year. Have a kid every year, buddy.
# series left and they are brutal, facing the other 3 teams currently in the top 4. First up is Caribbean Breeze this Saturday in a make-up. Please tell Tom if you are in or not.
Stay tuned for stats and updated standings.
