Double Post ... As Michael Returns from Vacation ...

OBI is currently searching for a backup plan in case Michael decides to go on vacation again anytime soon. Apparently, he is unable to perform his obligated OBI blog functions whilst wallowing away his own personal free time. Please fax resumes to 1-877-OBI-BLOG ,,, lol ...

That said, OBI has moved to 8-4 in season 3 after a week 5 sweep of Waste Management (11-1 and 19-5 run rules) and being swept in Week 6 by Aero FCU Skeleton Crew (18-17 and 10-7 losses).

Week 5 -- Waste Management was only able to push across 6 runs in 11 innings... The OBI defense had much to say about that.. Offensively, OBI scored 30 runs in 10+ innings while ringing up run rules in both games.

Offensive stars in week 5: Game 1 include Clint and Steve who both had 3 RBIs on a combined 5-5 hitting with a SF. KC also chipped in 3 hits and 2 Ribbies...

Game 2 stars abound with 19 runs scoring in our 6 at bats. Seven players picked up 3 hits each. Three players had four or more RBIs (Spillane with 6 and with 4 each, Ricky and DC) ...

Week 6 -- OBI led game one by a 13-4 count after 4 innings. However, the sun, wind, and rain,,, well, ok, the misting system in our dugout (by the way, Ryan no longer gets to choose the dugout we use based on his preferred playing position in the field lol) ,,, did us in...

Aero scored 5 and then a 9 spot to take an 18-16 lead going to the bottom of the 6th and final inning. The tying run died at third base as Nuta's looping liner to RC was snared to end the game. This 18-17 loss was tough however, DC shown bright as he took the field defensively for an inning along with a 4-4 2HR 8RBI performance...

Game Two was all about the defense for both teams during a slow moving 10-7 loss. KC broke out with a 3-4 4RBI game but the day belonged to his brother. DC collected a couple of doubles in another 4-4 game.

DC's total for the night,,, 8-8 at the plate with 3 doubles, 2 HRs, 4 runs scored, and 9 RBIs ... He has cemented his epic comeback player of the year type season ... Without DC,,, it is very safe to say that OBI is nowhere near 8 wins at any point this season...
