It was a hot and muggy and especially painful night for one member of our squad. We have now settled into 3rd place in the standings after our 4th defeat of the year. Luckily we were able to salvage game 2 despite being shorthanded due to a Tony Romo like rib injury that kept Dan on the bench and caused him to lose his flame for the first time in the last 2 seasons.
Game 1 against the first place Park Tavern squad did not go as planned. We missed a few plays in the field and once again refused to score runs against them, losing to them for the second time on the year. We will now have to wait for playoff time to get revenge. Furthermore Dan's ribs gave out after he smoked a double and put a damper on the game as we had to switch up the D and lost our most consistent bat in the process. Park Tavern may be in first place now, but they don't print T-Shirts in June. Come playoff time it will be a whole different ballgame.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 5 - Park Tavern 8
Game 2 against the BMW went smoother for us even though Dan had to ride the bench to start his recovery program. With 9 guys in the field we were in danger of having a really bad night. Fortunately our D tightened up, not allowing any runs in 5 of the 7 innings. Fosmo played exceptionally well in the outfield making numerous diving catches in left. We were able to hold off a late rally and hang on to win which left us with a split but left BMW screaming modified swear words at the top of their lungs.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 6 - BMW of Minnetonka 4
Scott Hofmeister
5-8 with 2 HR's, a triple and 7 RBI
Way to pick up the slack for Dan, driving in 64% or our runs on the evening.

Laying it on the line man on a screaming line drive, nice to see!
