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.
