Backs against the wall...

Last night did not go completely as planned.  Even though we played well enough to beat the Amish Donkey's in game one (by a score of 11-5), we knew that our bats had to get hotter to hang with Ballz Deep.  Unfortunately, our mini hitting slump continued this week as we continue to struggle just to break double digits.  You have gotta give Ballz Deep credit though.  As always, they hit well, but they really showed extra effort on defense and made a lot more plays than we are accustomed to seeing out of them.  A small comeback by us in the 7th made the score look closer than it really was.
Final score: 11-15

Moving on.  So now the path the championship may be more difficult, but by no means is it impossible.  If you look at our record, we have not lost a game to a team not named Ballz Deep since the end of May!   We should now focus squarely on getting a shot at redemption against them, and ulitmately walking of the fields as champions next week.  It could be a long night, but nobody ever said this would be easy. We should have our squad restored to full-strength though, and that will definitely help.

Lastly, for any of the competition who happens to be reading this, any outdoorsman will tell you two things when you are in bear country.
#1. Don't piss off a grizzly... 
#2. Don't back them against a wall...

Well, both things happened last night, and the picture below pretty much summarizes what will happen next Tuesday starting at 6pm.
