Week 5 Recap: Birthday Blues

"Scoops"

It was an up and down night for the birthday boy, and in turn the rest of the team. Its hard to hang the outcome of an entire evening on one mans shoulders, but this week it seems pretty justified.  We came out hot against the previously unbeaten BMW squad with a nice 7-0 lead after 3.  They tied it up after a big 4th inning but from there we pulled away.  The birthday boy was 4-4 in that game with 4 huge RBI which lit a fire under the whole teams asses...  We ended up winning 19-14.

Game 2 was a different story. Scoops lost his mojo and suddenly became afraid of the ball in the field. At the plate he slumped as well, going 1-4. Following his lead, the team defense started slipping too. Heading into the 7th after 3 straight offensive goose eggs we were still sitting at 7 measly runs and down 10. A late comeback sparked by Fosmo's second 3 run bomb of the game made the final score respectable. But this was definitely not a game worth celebrating. Final Score 13-17

Here are the scores from the rest of last nights games...  Looks like BMW dropped there 2nd game as well, losing to Excelsior Brewers (who we play next week).  Black Mater Vortex (our other opponent next week) is also hot putting up 2 wins with a 26-6 margin.  Should be a couple more good games on tap.  Pack your shoes.
