One Bad Inning lives by the bat ,,, and died by the bat on Thursday evening ... Taking our time to score 3 runs over the first 5 innings and then falling behind by a count of 19-3 going into the bottom of the 6th will serve as a good lesson ...
Defensively, there were a few missed plays that extended innings which the opponent took advantage of, yes indeed. However, being that Jaft is an offensive dynamo ,,, we were down only 5-3 after 4 innings. Thus, things didn't begin to look bleak until we gave up 6 and 8 in the 5th and 6th innings respectively...
The good news is that we play again this Thursday !!! So, be ready for a Season 2 of weekly battles as we have moved up to play the big dawgz in D1 on a weekly basis. Let's show 'em we belong ... Schedule should be out Monday, February 25th I am told ...
Following are the Season 1 complete stats ...

2013 Season 1 comes to a close this Thursday, February 21st.
The 10-4 One Bad Inning squad enters the final week of season one as the Third overall seed (16 teams) and will face off against #6 seed JAFT in round one of Uppers Division bracket play at 7:15pm on #2 ...
The winner is guaranteed two more games in the single elimination tourney format ... There will be a battle for Third place as there are prizes for Places 1st thru 3rd to be given out ...
The Thursday Night Championship Bracket can be downloaded via the link below ,,,
Bring your best this week and let's win ourselves 2013's first Victory Lane Thursday Night League Tourney ...
Offense carries the day in Week 7s double header sweep of Midlife Crisis and Greenside Up. Game 1 against Midlife Crisis started with a bang on Spillane's 2-Run HR and the rout was on by a count of 14-4 (expanding to 18-4 as the blue let us play beyond the 5th inning. Game 2 was an offensive battle with Greenside coming Up 2 runs short in a last inning comeback bid ...
These two wins, along with a come-from-behind victory against CAD Con Drafting last week,,, courtesy of KC's Looonnnnggg Walk-Off Grounder thru the 5-6 hole, puts OBI at 10-4 in 2013 Season 1. This is good enough for a 2-way Third Place tie annnnnd the #3 seed in February 21st's inaugural Thursday Night Victory Lane League Tourney !!!
Game 1s hero, Chris Spillane, crafted a nifty 4-5 with the aforementioned 2-Run HR and 2 Triples, scoring 4 runs and driving in 6 ... Spillane even considered stopping at second on his last inning triple to score a cycle,,, however, discretion is the better part of valor, or some shit like that,,, and he continued onto third ... Good Call !!! ;~)
Not to be outdone,,, Game 2 belonged to Juan Reynoso... His 4-4 effort included a 2Run Double and a late Grand Slam to just about put the game away (alas Greenside Up barely got the memo)... Juan scored 3x and drove in 8 runs... Now, that kinda snowman you don't see every day, especially in da AZeeee ...

CADCon Drafting benefited from generous defensive play in both games on Thursday. That and inconsistency at the plate by the 12 attending this weeks games cost OBI an opportunity to sweep the doubleheader.
However, the momentum swung OBI's way in the home half of the last inning during the second game. Down 14-10 and 1 out in the books only one pitch in the inning,,, OBI found themselves and collected base hits in 7 of the next 8 At Bats with KC smacking a Looonnnnggg Walk-Off Grounder thru the 5-6 hole.
Ya, ok,,, so, not a walk off HR as KC desired, but we will take the victory against the #2 team in the league this season.
At 8-4, OBI is currently tied for 4th (or 3rd based upon Far From Limpin's results) place going into next weeks last regular season matchups against Midlife Crisis and Greenside Up ... Games are at 7:15/8:15 on Field 2 ...
(So Andy,,, ya, your 325' Triple to Dead Center on #5 ,,, would be a jog back to the dugout HR type result on Field 2) ...
Week 8 of this 2013 Season 1 will be a single elimination tournament that will decide the Thursday Night Men's League Champion ... We could play up to four (4) games that night ... If so, we will definitely benefit if all hands can be on deck on February 21st !!! More info to come ...

OBI downed the Dirty Dozen 15-5,,, got pretty hammered,,, then fell short on a come back bid against Far From Limpin' by taking it on the chin 9-15 ...
In an odd scheduling quirk, OBI and Dirty Dozen squared off in three consecutive games played during Weeks 4 & 5 ... OBI outscored DD by a combined 54-26 score over the 3 game stretch.
Highlight of this weeks game was 6th inning 8-run outburst that put the game away. Fill-In Chris So. homered twice in the inning ,,, actually his 2nd HR was an out so there is that.
The Defense played well once again,,, with Juan Reynoso continuing to make his infield teammates look good... Us infield types like that I tell ya... lol
Game 2 was an out of chararcter offensive slow start for OBI. We were held scoreless by FFL till a 5-run third inning. We were in the game after that but seemed to lack a bit of spark during the game...
All agreed that we believe ourselves to still be winless on 2nd games of split DHs ... Curse that Victory Lane League Scheduler Type Person ... grrrrrrrrrrrrr
7-3 OBI is tied for 3rd Place in 16 team Season 1 league play. Only two regular season weeks remain until the first Victory Lane League Tourney...
This weeks games are on #5 at 615/715 vs 2nd Place (9-1) Cadcon Drafting ...
Bring your big guns and be ready for an offensive battle ... This Cadcon Drafting squad will hit the ball with us and plays their own special brand of D ...
Here are the Season 1 stats to date ,,, Note that I have combined all the Fill In's stats into one row ... Tired of recreating the wheel ... LOL
