What a night! We started off really sluggish against a pretty good Metro Merchant team, but showed true grit by battling back for the come from behind victory. Multiple come backs actually... down 10-0 after 3, then 15-3 after 4, and finally a 9 run difference after 5...but the flood gates opened for Bulldog/Hose and Fitting and we figured out how to find the gaps in their 5-infield set. Between the 5th and 6th innings Bulldog/Hose and Fitting scrapped together and belted 17 runs with some perfectly timed homeruns, and smart base-running. Two of the more memorable, game-changing ( and momentum changing) plays were Hagen's 'smart' lead off 3rd that completely flustered their SS into a non-play that kept us alive in the late innings, and then the MONSTER grand slam laced by Granum to all but demoralize a Metro Merchant team that was already playing with heavy hearts. All-in-all I think each and every one of us was very surprised that we were able to pull that victory off, but it showed that we are NOT a pushover of a team (in case some other team is thinking that).
The second game (after an hour drinking gap) started off with a huge 1st, scoring 9 runs while using 3 homeruns in the effort (including Granum's 2nd grand slam of the night). We fell asleep for an inning after, but some of the trash talking woke up some sleeping (drunken?) giants and we came to score 7 with our 3rd grand slam of the night...this one hit by Acker... to seal up the fate of the chippy and hated EP Sox. Very much remiscent of a Twins / White Sox rivalry.
Great job tonight gentlemen.
