Opening Day Starts Off Big!

Gentlemen,

Great opening to the 2011 Summer Season.  We were presented with a difficult challenge...not necessarily the first team we played, but how would we repond to the 21-0 drubbing we laid down on Hayes Construction.  I think our response is the most impressive stat of the night.  It's all too easy to have a big letdown after killing a team, and we were almost on our way (to said letdown).

After scoring only 4 runs in the first for innings against Faith Matters, we strung together 2 very impressive innings.  Scratching and clawing back from a 6-4 deficit we managed to tie the game up in the bottom of the 5th, only to surrender the lead back in the top of the 6th (7-6).  But came back strong in the bottom of the 6th with 5 singles and a timely double by Acker to put up 5 runs.  Our defense along with solid pitching from Derek closed out the game, and the night with a 2-0 record to start the season and a run differential of 32-7.

Nice work team!  Looking forward to more "W"s as the season continues.  The statbook has been updated.
