Three Weeks Later ,,, One Bad Inning's Blog gets a post following Sweep of 12 Deep ... In the Meantime,,,

July 25th ... Just Show Up took two from OBI by the scores of 11-10 and 17-6 ...

Game 1 was a slow burner as OBI was down 9-4 going into the top of the 6th scoring 3 in each of the last two innings to bring the final tally to 10-11. Interestingly, not one extra-base hit was counted in the score book. Larry led the way with 4 hits while Jayse dropped 3 hits of his own.

The second game was all JSU... OBI's offense was a no show tallying only 6 runs in the 5 frames. Spillane and KC both raked 3 hits a piece as OBI completed a full evening of fun with zero extra base hits. Hmmmmmm...


August 1st ... Mamma's Boys take two from OBI by the scores of 9-8 and 4-8.

Game 1's first at bat provided OBI with what was missing last week. Jayse laced a Triple into Left and we were off to the races. Ok, actually, we only scored 8 runs but that is better than Game 2. Spillane, Michael, and Larry all stroked it for 3 hits. Jayse and Larry also tallied 3 RBIs.

Game 2 was ,,, **cricket spoiler alert** ,,, quiet, bat-wise ... Juan collected 3 of the 15 total hits in the game. Meaning, the other 10 players collected only 12 hits of their own. Not extremely offensive to say the least. Michael scored 3 runs and Larry the other. Ricky had two (2) Sac Flies and Nuta one (1). Thus, the only hit that plated a run came off Juan's bat,,, go figure.

Michael sets a lofty goal for August 8th,,, score more in game 1 than we scored in both games on 8/1 ...


August 8th ... OBI Sweeps 12 Deep to improve to 5-7 with 13-7 and 19-0 wins...

Game 1's goal was met as OBI scored 13 runs in 5 at bats. Mind you,,, 12 Deep was very, ummm ,, accommodating. There were a handful of fly balls and maybe a few more ground balls that 12 Deep was unable to prevent the earth's gravitational pull from its appointed duties. However, OBI did the needful and took the game.

Matt and Clint both had 3 hits. This while all but 2 players reached base at least twice in the game. Four players had at least 2 RBIs. Riding the high,,, OBI hit first in Game 2...

OBI scored No Runs in the top of the 1st inning,,, cuz Game 2 was really about pitching and defense. In the first three innings, Larry tossed a total of 11 pitches... and I believe he gave up just one hit in the fourth inning with an estimate of 8-9 pitches,,, he still averaged about 5 pitches an inning.

Offensively, OBI scored 19 runs from the second thru fourth innings. Here are the highlights:

Clint 3-4 Double
KC 2-4 Double
Juan 4-4
Ricky 2-4
Ryan 1-3
Jayse 1-3 BB
JR 2-3
Larry 3-3
Michael 2-2 BB Double Triple
Matt 2-3
Nuta 2-3

Keep up the good work against Warning Track Power this week... Let's go into the Tourney at 7-7 ;~)

Awesome job this week OBIerz ...


By the way,,, Stats are up next...
