The OBI Offense was shut down from the 3rd thru 5th innings. Combined with our Defensive let down, cost us Game 2. However, the good news is ,,, the remainder of the schedule is out and we don't play Greenside Up during Season 3's Regular season (whew) ...
Offensively, it must be noted that we saw a huge increase in extra base hits this week. Two games combined we collected 11 Doubles, 4 Triples, and 1 Inside-the-Park Home Run ... The new OPS stat sent an email,,, needless to say, it is ecstatic about the production...
