It was one of those dreaded single 9:15 games... the type of game that can get away from you real quick, especially if the team you are playing is warmed up and coming off a win. Especially if you are playing Park Tavern Blue, one toughest, meanest, most focused teams in softball. Park Tavern even had a late night rowdy crowd in the stands adding to the already thick and humid atmosphere. We were just hoping to get out of there alive (which Derek almost didn't as he somehow dislocated his shoulder on a swing and miss which left him in a heap on the ground) In Grizzly fashion we started slow, down 2-4 after one. But we kept adding on runs until we finally put together a few big innings towards the end as we combined for 10 in the 6 and 7th to pull away. We ended the game with a easy, yes easy, double play.
Amazingly on the night we combined for a total of 30 hits as a team, led by Tom who went 5-5. Our D played well too, only really giving away that one big inning in the 1st. The highlight of the night was when Derek (still obviously mad about the that painful swing in the previous at bat), hit a ball into the pitchers ankle which then was deflected into the air and caught by the shortstop. It was a bright spot for PT, but the game belonged to us. 8 in a row, for Mike Yeo! BMW and Deer Run next week! 3 weeks of doubleheaders then its playoff time...
Final Score:
Dirty Grizzlies 19, Park Tavern 8
