Toasty Tuesday: 10-4

It was as humid as it has ever been in the twin cities yesterday...and it could of been a struggle to keep the energy level high.  Fortuanatly for us we were able to do that in a huge game that had major implications on the #1 seed in playoffs.  As a team we kept on battling, and battling, and we placed the ball well and played pretty darn good D.  It was a big win for us, but I am sure that if we meet these guys again in better conditions the game will be much, much tighter.  Hopefully thats not until the championship round of the playoffs though.
Final Score: 14-4

With our best player gone this guy filled in at the 3 hole very well by spraying the ball all over the field and driving in the most runs, thus earning his second such award in 2 weeks...

Our Chili is Hot: 9-4

Tim Brewster would be proud of our squad.  Our chili is on fire right now... its boiling!  It's all over the damn kitchen!!  The first game of the double-header got off to a great start.  We scored 11 in the top of the first and crusied to a early victory.  The donkeys didn't look like they had thier full squad intact, as a couple of thier subs looked as if they didn't know a softball from a soccer ball, but regardless, we will take it.
Final Score: 20-3

Game 2 was alittle more interesting.  Fresh off a big win at 7 over Park Tavern, Doublewide's confidence had to be at a high level....that is, until they had to sit on the picnic tables for an hour and watch our drubbing of the Amish.  Early on, thier legs seemed to be somewhat cold, as were thier bats.  Thier defense was rock solid however, holding us to only 4 runs in 5 innings.  Fortunatly for us, we finally got our big inning in the 6th, putting 8 on the board, and then followed it up with 5 more in the 7th.  The score was 17-4 heading into the last half-inning of the game as we seemed poised to cruise to a victory....

Then things got interesting...  Line drive after line drive, Doublewide was finally warmed up and they started crushing.  After what seemed to be 15 minutes of hit after hit and countless base runners we finally got our first out, eventually we had to ask the ump the score.  DW had put up 10 runs so far and had 2 more guys on base.  Our lead had dwindled to 3 and the situation was looking sketchy.  Fortunatly for us, our defense stayed tough and we got a couple balls hit at us as we then got back to back outs to prevent the would-be collapse.  An easy going victory turned into the biggest nail-bitter of the season.  Needless to say we were all very happy to escape with a victory and keep our winning streak alive.  Good game played by everyone on both sides though for sure.
Final Score: 17-14

Alot of guys played well last night...Jon played some amazing D in the outfield, Fosmo hit 3 bombs on the night and went a critcal 5-5 in game 2, but one guy has been playing great all year, and had a 4-hit cycle which included a grand-slam in the first game.

Hot and Heavy: 7-4

It was a bit steamy out last night, and a few guys were gone on vacation this week... and our oppenent had to borrow a couple guys to fill out there team, but we still managed to maintain our focus and get our 3rd straight victory.  Due to the distraction of Derek and Cary showing up in the middle of the 1st inning we were losing 1-3 after 1, but we then scored 19 runs in the next 3 innings to push the lead to 20-11...7 more in the 5th gave us enough to end it early.

Final Score: 27-12
Our bats have been on fire since the unscheduled mid-summer break... scoring 58 runs in the last 2 games. One guy has been especially hot at the plate lately...
