Week 1 Scores

We are only one week in and the dream of an undefeated season is already dead for 5 teams.  Only PT , Dead Money 2 (Hose and Fitting Supply) and the comeback kids (that would be us) have a chance at running the table.  Here are the scores from week 1:

Miken Dies, Grizzlies Survive

It was a very interesting night as we had 2 come from behind nail-bitters as well as the trajic death of an old friend.  In the first game we came from 4 down in the bottom of the seventh to ralley to beat the Silver Bullets as Fosmo provided an awesome slide to avoid the tag at home.  In the second game we hung with Ballz Deep (who had three 3-run HR's) compared to our single solo shot and rallied to score 2 in the bottom of the 7th to win as well. Overall we played pretty well, but still feel very fortunate to escape with 2 wins over a couple of tough teams. 

It was not all positive though as we discovered a fatal crack Hof's favorite Miken bat.  The Miken has been with us since 2008 and was very, very well broken in at this point.  Nobody is quite sure who officailly killed the bat, but it is very clear who is the most heart-broken.  It may sound cliche, but if any bat would make it to heaven, it would be your bat Hof.  Goodbye friend... you've done well.

Practice Game Eval

It was fun getting back on the fields last night, everyone got atleast 4 ab's and we went on to a very meaningfull 11-8 victory over Doublewide.  They are sure to be out for revenge in week 2.

Overall, our clutch hitting left a lot to be desired, but on the bright side,  the two new guys looked good and will definetly help us out this year.  Dan made an awesome grab in left and showed of his arm repeatedly while Wurd showed some silky smooth D and some pop in his bat as well.

Here is a quick rundown of the scorecard...
Dan 3-5 with 2 rbi, 2b
Wurd 2-5 with 2 rbi
Hof 1-5 with 1 rbi
Wunder 3-5 with 1 rbi, hr, 2b
Tom 3-4 with 2 rbi
Cary 1-4
Sam 1-4
Jason 1-4
Derek 2-4
Brad 4-4 with 3 rbi, 2b
