Week 10 Scores

I will be away from the desk all day but since half the team was gone I thought I would try to get these scores up here...  I will try to update everything else tonight.  Thanks.

Week 9 Scores / Recap

It looks like nearly every team stuggled last week, and it is hard to beat a team 3 times (or so you hear) but regardless, we put together a very lathargic ballgame this week... our Defense was pretty sloppy and we struggled to score runs... putting up our lowest run total all season.  Ballz Deep didn't even put any over the fence and they still dominated us.  It was uggggg-lee.  Hopefully thats our last stinker of the year as we get into form for the playoffs in a few weeks.  I think we have the pieces in place take down the championship this year, but we won't do it playing like this.  Here are the rest of the scores:

Flame Upgrade!

I know that we have had a few performances throughout the history of the Grizzlies that deserved more than just a normal flame, but Dan's stat line last night (which was 7-8 with 3 doubles and 3 HR's with 6 runs scored and 12 RBI) was amazing and inspired me to make a flame upgrade.  In honor of his performance and all future dominance we are introducing the "White Hot" flame for the stats column.  This designation will be reserved for only the most ultimate performances or streaks and if you recieve one you should definetly consider it a incredible honor, right up there with the noble peace prize or purple heart.  Congratulations Daniel!

Week 8 Recap / Scores

It was a couple of much anticipated match-ups as we faced the top 2 teams in double-header fashion last evening. In game 1 vs PT we started out very slowly at the plate and in the field, digging ourselves an eventual 14-3 hole after the top of the 4th.  Dan responed in the bottom of the inning though with a 2-run bomb to keep us from getting 10 runned.  PT came back with 5 more runs in the top of the 5th and things wer looking bleak, but in gritty fashion we responed with 6 straight 2-out hits to score 5 ourselves.  We finnally shut down thier offense in the top of the 6th and proceeded to score 7 more runs(with the aid of the flip-flop rule) but ended up just short of the amazing comeback.  Final Score: 17-19

We used our late game momentum to get off to a good start against the #1 team in the league, scoreing 5,5,4 and 9 runs in the first 4 innings.  Hose and Fitting came to play though as well as we found ourselves down 10-16 in the middle of the 3rd.  We put together 6 straight hits in our half of the inning to score 4, but the high score and long innings were taking it's toll on the clock.  Our 9-run bottom of the 4th gave us a 5 run lead heading into the ump declared final inning.  Even though we allowed the bases loaded with no-outs in that last inning we escaped with only giving up 2 runs to preserve the upset victory over our long time nemisis.  Final Score: 23-20

Week 7 Recap/ Scores

It was a very steamy evening in Hopkins but the one thing that wasn't very hot were the Donkey Mob's bats.  Cary was able to induce an amazing amount of pop flys which Wurd almost exclusivly brought in.   The few good hits they had only produced limited runs as they left many guys on base. Our bats on the other hand were fairly hot, scoring 1, 2, 3, and 4 runs in the first 4 innings.  Dan and Wunder each contributed big 3 run blasts.  A 2-run double by Sam with 2 outs in the 6th was the final demoralizing blow.  Overall, another clean game as we head into a HUGE doubleheader next week against the undisputed top two teams in the league.  Objects in your mirror are closer than they appear...  We're Comin! We're Comin!!
