Due to some last minute circumstances, we were left to play a doubleheader with only 9 guys (for the second week in a row by the way)... But even with less than ideal circumstances our team put in 2 really solid performances.
In game one we took on a 13 man Doublwide squad who was out for payback after we beat them twice already this year. Down 6-11 after 4 innings, we fought back little by little with the help of Hof's most amazing catch ever. A Wunderlich HR and some solid D sent the game to OT were we scored 1 run in the top of the inning and held them to none, giving us a very hard fought and rewarding 14-13 victory.
Game 2 was another battle...this time against the Donkey Mob. After a big 5 run second and our defense playing awesome again it looked as though we may somehow be able to snatch two wins on a night when the odds were stacked against us. Unfortuantly, our bats got cold in the middle innings and despite taking the lead with 3 runs in the top of the 7th they singled us to death in the bottom of the inning and scored the winning run on a sac fly. Final score: 8-9
All in all, it was good to see the fight we had, and if we can play this well shorthanded, we have to like our chances when we have our full compliment of playa's in da playoffs yo. We Comin.
