Thumpin'

Mother Nature drenched the field on Saturday, so the league was reduced to the impious players on Sunday, again.

The visitors (Dewey, Hansoo, and Stats) brought out the thunder sticks and the lightning arms for the game, as it turned out. They produced 10 runs using a 26-hit attack from the first inning to the ninth. All the while surrendering zero runs and only 12 hits to the homestanding Adrian, Eric (!), Kurt and Pete.

Dewey's 10-for-18 (plus 4 RBI) led the winners and earns him a blog mention, though average-wise Pete's 6-for-9 in a losing cause was the best of the day. Hansoo (7-for-18, 4 RBI) hit the game's only dinger and was just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Ironic, as this was a game that featured four different players hitting triples.

Just not Hansoo.

Indeed, Pete and Matt (9-for-18, 2 RBI) were both just a homer shy of the cycle. For Matt, that's the same as saying he was a Unicorn shy of the cycle.

Nothing says it better about the pitching than saying "9-inning shutout." Matt threw three shutdown innings following top halves where his team scored. As the game wore on this seemed less and less an achievement, since everyone was pitching shutouts.

Dewey, Hansoo, Matt - 10 runs, 26 hits
Adrian, Eric, Kurt, Peter - 0 runs, 12 hits
