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
