Game 1 was a matchup with Strong Liquor (formerly known as Black Matter Vortex) who has a new name and some fancy new jerseys, but there piss poor attitude still remains. On the bright side, it was nice to see that they finally found a way to avoid hitting the ball back up the middle constantly, unfortunately there strategy involved taking an uncountable number of pitches and drawing an uncountable number of walks. Fortunately for them we swing the bats here in grizzly country, but unfortunately for them we had our hottest hitting night of the season.... Hof had hit for the cycle by his 4th plate appearance. Blake hit a massive 3 run bomb in the 5th inning. And 7 of our ten batters had at least 3 hits. It was a back and forth game, but our 2-out, 6 run rally in the 5th, combined with some fantastic defense and the sweet smell of greasy chicken wings led to a thrilling victory.
Final Score: Grizzlies 18 - Strong Liquor 17
Game 2 was reminiscent of the good old days... Tons of hits, good D, easy opponents and home in time to catch the weather on the news. Reb's Marketing was above us in the standings for most of the year, and that is a sad statement considering how bad they played. Granted, they only had 9 guys, and 1/3rd of their outfield was crippled with a sore hammy, BUT STILL, how were we below them in the standings? It must have been the schedule right? Right?! They are nice guys, but this game was over by the 2nd inning when we proceeded to score 12 runs, 10 of them by consecutive batters. The next inning we scored nine more and we entered the bottom of the third up 25-0. Unfortunately we did give up a few hits at the end and lost the shut-out, but overall it was still a fantastic night of softball. Hopefully we can use this momentum as we head into two big games next week, including one against ROM who is sitting atop the standings, surely still pissed off we beat them last month. If we play like we did tonight, there is no reason we shouldn't beat them again...
