Dusk Provides Golden Sunset and Opportunity to Get Back to .500

Early games this week vs. an old rival (Aero FCU Skeleton Crew) were won with good defense and enough timely hits to count. Final scores of 4-1 (yes, 5 total runs scored) and 15-3 pushed OBI back to .500 after 3 weeks of play in Season 4.

Game 1 was a 7 inning affair that remained tied 1-1 till the bottom of the 6th inning. OBI pushed across 3 huge runs to forge an insurmountable lead, to win 4-1. KC laced a 2-run Double scoring Matt and Spillane to break the 1-1 tie. 

The only thing better than scoring 4 runs in a win is,,, holding your opponent to 1 run ,,, in a victory. There were excellent plays and some really good ones. Jayse made a full tilt diving catch, a beaut... Larry dodged a few outs hit sharply back thru the box and everyone made the plays that were needed.

To start Game 2, OBI scored 4 in the top of the 1st inning. Holding onto a 6-3 lead, we put up a 9 spot in the top of the 5th inning. Juan ripped 4 hits in the game with Ricky and Larry collecting 3 each. These 10 hits were at the top of the order for this game which kick started the anemic offense.

KC collected 2 more RBIs with yet another double... Annnnd, the new guy, Jayse, in Week 3 of Season 4 crushed one (down the left field line past the LF) and was able to circle the bases for OBI's first HR of the season. Only took 6 games,,, must be the heat...

This week, games are at 815/915 on Field 2 vs. Just Show Up... In fact, I do not recognize three of the teams we play over the next four weeks,,, new blood??? Let's show 'em our best...




p.s. I plan to add a new row for Jayse for Week 4 ...
