Hitting in the cleanup spot in his first game back, David Craycraft evoked fear amongst the defense and brought smiles to each face in OBI's dugout. A crisp, clean 3-3 2RBI with a Double workmanlike performance was unexpected by only David. Welcome Back, my friend...
OBI was efficient on offense and played well enough defensively to pull off a doubleheader sweep of Mammas Boys with two 2-run wins, 13-11 and an amazing 5-3 victory. Though not as windy as anticipated, the breeze did affect the balls flight on the big #5 field. Interestingly, the wind was actually blowing out to CF,,, sooooooo, not sure exactly why there was no offensive explosion.
The most interesting happening on the field all night was ,,, well, which way the call would go... The Blue was consistently inconsistent, and that is putting it mildly. At least both teams saw the humor in the situation. Something that would never happen in D1 ... LOL
A new offensive category has been added to the stat sheet, OPS. This is OnBasePct + SluggingPct. Prior to officially adding the stat, I researched and calculate that an Average OPS for slowpitch softball is 1.300. Currently, our team average is 1.325, thus, I feel that the research is accurate enough to replace the SB category with OPS ...
There are 7 OBI players currently above 1.300 during 2013. Here is the list ...
1.843 Juan Reynoso
1.559 KC
1.530 Michael
1.500 David
1.447 Chris Nuta
1.400 Chris Spillane
1.326 Clint
Ok, fingers are tired of typing,,, here are the week 1 stats for Season 3. I still find it hard to believe, but yes,,, we scored 18 totals runs last night and are 2-0. Nicely done, OBI !!!
