Standings and Results

2 games back with nothing but winnable games to go. I say we have about a 20% chance in winning this thing even if we win out.

Game Notes:

Faith Matter's Beat the Red Devils! WOW!

1-1 Split

What can I say about last night?? We definitely didn't play to our potential.
Finding out we were going to be short staffed a couple hours before game time didn't help things, but Toby stepping in to play catcher was a nice addition. At least we had 10 guys.
Rick had to play an unfamiliar 2nd base and did a great job.

To the game... Down 8-0 after the first inning and battling back to a 9-8 lead after 3, I thought things were looking up. Tied 9-9 after 4 I still felt like things were in our favor. Then the little kid hit 2 3 run HR's in the last two innings while our bats fell asleep. Ended up losing by 6 runs if I remember correctly.
The only positive note from this game is that if there is a tie for first with us and the Hitmen, we beat them by 10 and they beat us by 6. Just wish that we didn't have to be sitting here hoping they will lose some more games.

Game 2 was also very disappointing. We won by 4 runs, against the last place team in the league. Bats were dead but defensively we were solid. We experimented against a team that doesn't hit for much power with the 5 Man IF. It worked out well and its good to know we can make that adjustment if we need to.

I assume the standings will be out sometime Thursday afternoon.

1 game Back

Dominating performance last week! Up 14-0 after 2, and an inning of batting left handed we flip flopped and won 18-6 after 4-1/2.

So we are now 1 game back and we have the Hitmen next week. Last time we played they got 10 runned in 5, but I don't think they had their normal team that week. They have 3 losses all season and 2 of them were made the week that we played them. Both us and the Red Devils 10 runned them.

After this week the rest of our games are against teams in the lower half of the standings. If we can take out the Hitmen next week, and play solid ball the rest of the season, I think we will win the league.

I noticed the Mama's Boys somehow knocked off Jack Daniels last week to get both us, and the Hitmen, within 1 game.

On another note, Game 2 is against Max and Jesse on the 1-14 Faith Matters(who we squeaked past week 1). Lets not take them lightly.

Here are the updated Standings and last weeks results.

Great Game

Great game last night. 10 Runned Mama's Boys in 5 innings. Damian pitched lights out and turned 2 Double Plays! A 1-6-3 and a 1-2-5. We had 3 DP's on the day.

Hopefully we slid into a tie for first place after that one. I'll be sure to update the standings and results as soon as they are in.

P.S.

Nobody has to bring a six pack next week!
