Game 1 ended early as we sprung out to an early lead and never looked back. Our D was pretty solid all around and the top of our order was on fire, as the guys hitting in the 2-6 spots combined to go 14 for 15. We now have a combined score of 37-18 vs those guys this year.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 12 - Evangelical Fracking Moguls 2
After a long delay as the ump took his mandatory smoke break, we got back at it versus a very competitive Park Tavern squad. Hof got us off to a good start by hitting a 3-run dinger in the top of the first, but after that we slowly fell behind in the middle innings as PT used up all of the HR's early. Our 2-6 hitters that were so hot in game 1 really cooled off combining for a 7-22 (.318) effort in game 2. Luckily, the rest of the line-up picked things up, especially late in the game leading to 11 runs in the 5th and 6th innings to put us back in the lead. We failed to score in the top of the 7th, but it didn't matter as we shut them down in the bottom of the inning to preserve the 1 run victory.
Before the dust even settled on the last out, classy #69 from PT took exception to our excitement and he tried to make us feel bad for taking the game too seriously. From his reaction, you would think that we had acted like we just won the '87 World Series, jumping up and down like Kent Hrbek. Berube pointed out that this guys statement was quite hypocritical considering the fact he single handedly pulled the pitcher from the game after a few walks without so much as a consultation with anyone else on the team and also berated the ump repeatedly over borderline calls... yet WE are the ones who take things too seriously! Unbelievable. We couldn't hit the starting pitcher worth a crap, but funny, as soon as mr tough guy came in he proceeded to give up an inside the park home run to Wurd which cleared the bases. The very next inning he gave up 5 more runs, including two triples and a double in a row which put us in the lead for good. It was a fun game, and I don't feel bad one bit for having a little fun celebrating, if he doesn't like having fun maybe #69 should join the soccer league on the other side of the parking lot.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 16 - Park Tavern 15
