OBI Splits a Pair of One-Run Affairs ...

This past Thursday was an Opposite Day. OBI Played a split doubleheader and won the back half instead of the standard front half going back several years,,, errr, I mean months ... This was an unfortunate happening as game 1 was lost to first place and now 8-0 BISP ...

Fortunate OBI scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 5th and final inning to take the second game 17-16 on Spillane's 2-out single... The loss-win combination leaves OBI 6-2 at the halfway point of Season 3 and in good position for a late season run as we look for an opportunity to play BISP again in the post-season tourney.

Well,, am now in paragraph three and it is probably time to mention our sponsor... Call A Awesome Painting for all you internal and external wall recoloring needs. (There Steve, mentioned you in the article) ... lol

Game 1's loss to BISP was especially painful given OBI took a 10-4 lead into the bottom of the third inning riding Larry's inside-the-park Grand Slam. BISP scored 4 and then 2 in the bottom of the 3rd and 4th innings respectfully, taking an 11-10 lead.

This held up as the final score as OBI was 2 for 12 after Larry's GS in the last 2 2/3 innings. Excellent defense helped hold down BISP including Spillane's catch of a line drive whilst heading back to the LC field wall.

Game 2 was highlighted by Steve-Os 2 Home Run game. His personal back-to-backs drove in 3 runs igniting the OBI offense. Juan made it for the late game and collected his first 3 hit game of 2013.

Though, most of the praise has to go to Matt as he took a called 3rd Strike to open the game winning 5-run inning. OBIers were definitely motivated by the impending beer purchase... 

Following are the Season 3 stats (thru week 4) and the current YTD OBI stats:
