One Bad Inning in Game 1 Costs OBI a Split-DH Sweep ...

OBI gave up 8 runs in the bottom of the 5th to Chico's Bail Bonds and fell 10-13 in Game 1 on Thursday night. Consistency being the unrequited brother's mistress of valor, OBI pushed across another 10 runs in game 2 against the AZ Tea Bags (no comment placed here) to take the contest 10-5 ...

Against Chico's Bail Bonds, OBI jumped out to 5-0, 8-3, then 10-5 leads,,, we would score no more runs in the game. OBI scored 8 in the first 3 innings, and only 2 over the last 4 at bats... Ya, the offense went cold.

Game 1 leaders with 3 hits each were Humberto (3-3) and both Matt & Michael (at 3-4). Matt scored 3 runs and Humberto drove in a run with each of his hits, all with 2 outs ...

Game 2 was all about the top of the order. Ryan (2-3), Humberto (3-4), and Shylo (2-3) collected 8 hits (rest of the team 9) and scored 7 of the 10 runs... Paul drove in 3 runs as the team leader this game.

The real difference in Game 1's loss and Game 2's win was the Defense... A few misplayed balls in the first game contributed to Chico's big bad inning. Since we are human, I like to think these things are going to happen whether aliens have truly visited planet Earth,,, or not ...

Overall, our good play continues and with Spillane back next week we should be able to give some players more time to get me a beer between innings... Or other important stuff like that...
