Mamma's Boys Whooped after OBI's One Bad Inning ...

OBI earned a doubleheader split with a 17-9 victory in Game 2 that included a happy, happy, happy 12-run inning. This after Mamma's Boys turn a 6th inning Game 1 12-6 deficit into a 16-12 victory with their own 10 run inning. Grrrrrrrrr

The story of the evening was improved and more consistent offense by the OBI crew, better base running, and other wonderful crap like that. We hit the ball on a line more often than the past few weeks. This is a good trend as popups and lazy fly balls seem to be easier to catch than sharply hit grounders and line drives. I like it!!!

Game 1 featured an 8-run third inning where Shylo's hit the second time around kept him from making the first and third outs of the inning. There were a few gifts by Mamma's Boys, but for the most part the OBI crew singled them to death and we put ourselves in good position to win. Alas, it didn't last...

In Game 2, we scored 5 runs in the top of the first,, then 12 in the 4th inning. This was enough to pull away far enough to secure the victory. Officially,,, Larry, Michael (also had a SacFly), Spillane, Matt, and Jayse all made only one out over both games. 

Extra base hits were more abundant, possibly due to their 3 OFs (at times) and/or Field 4's generous grazing area. Simply said, we hit well as a team and are becoming consistent as we have been in previous seasons. Keep it rockin' folks ...
