Week 1 Recap: Just like riding a bike

It's a new year but we picked up right were we left off. New bat, new guys, new opponent, same outcomes. It was fun to finally be back on the fields again and it was fun to see so many guys hitting well so early in the year. Here are the scores and recaps from the first week of the season:

Game 1 against the Stepdads (3-13 last year) went about as good as could be expected.  We hit great right from that start (batting around in the 1st) , Dan was blasting dingers into windshields, and we actually played some decent D considering it was the first game of the year.  They did play some pretty horrible defense leading to a few big innings for us but it was a good start. It was over after 4.
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 19 - Stepdads 2

After a long delay waiting for the BMO and Ron's Repair (former Doublewide guys) game to get over we got a little cold.  Game 2 was tight throughout and we were actually losing 2-4 after 3 innings.  Eventually we scrapped some hits together to put together a couple of decent innings to extend a lead.  It helped that their big 4 hitter stopped hitting balls into the parking lot and only to the warning track instead.  Their left fielder also tore up his knee pretty good on a fly ball so that really took the wind out of their team.  We won without playing our best, but this team could be a tough beat down the road.
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 9 - BMO Bombers 5

Scrimmage is off tonight.

Too cold.  We are going to try to get together for some BP on Sunday afternoon when the temps will be above freezing again...  Stay tuned.
