And it was a team effort; everyone of you reading this now, are part of our next 10,000. So, thank you!
Speaking of team efforts, there was a game in a hot wind at Nance Bradds' Field this evening, and it was NOT a shutout. Indeed it was a back-and-forth five inning affair, complete with a couple of lead changes. Yup, it was in fact .. exciting.
This game, the 21st of the season, saw the return of "The Artist" to the asphalt, and was the debut of Rookie of the Year candidate, Jeremy Long.
The Visitors got the scoring started in the second with a very looooong home run off Kurt's bat (did I mention Glen was back?). They tacked on a third in the third, christening Mr. Long's debut in the pitching stats.
They gave 'em all back and then some when Brent took the ball in the bottom of the fourth, allowing six runs on nine singles. Credit Glen with 3 RBI, Dave with 2 and Jeremy with 1. 6 to 3 after four innings.
Dave repeated his 3 up, 3 down, 3K performance from the first in the fourth, but Glen, called upon to hold the three run lead in the fifth, could not get it done. He gave up another dinger to Kurt (this one not so long, but a crushed line drive), as well as a 2-Run double to Kurt to tie the score. Then, with two out, bases loaded, Brent Mack pulled a single down the line for the difference maker!
After Kurt's 1-2-3 bottom of the fifth, it was all wrapped up. A 7-6 win for the visitors, and a nice night for Krash: 4-for-8, 2 HR, 2B, 6 rbi.
Kurt, Matt, Pete, Brent - 7 runs, 15 hits
Dave, Glen, Jeremy - 6 runs, 12 hits

I note that I reached my goal of a sub-7 ERA.
ReplyDeleteYes, but by not showing up for your "shandy", your ETA (earned testicle average) went down by three whole points. Congrats!
ReplyDeletethe "games and theory" sez 25 games, this sez 21. if you aren't zamonski, could you clarify?
ReplyDeleteYes, some pre-season games were counted as "games for that tally. The "games" for stats purposes started in April.
