When the Commish is Away...

It's a proud, bittersweet, moment when a parent sees their child off into the world of independent adulthood. Seeing that they can manage a life, contribute to society, make art, consume calories, etc. This week, the OWAC did manage to have a game, even without the beneficent leadership of the Commish.

Stats, his left wrist in a brace, managed to pull off a game. And as has been noted in the past - the only thing he does worse than drawing the lines, is picking the teams. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!! This time, the lines were MUCH worse than the teams.

In fact is was a very competitive 7-5 game. The game ended with the tying run in scoring position. The game featured a lot of hits, some amazing defense. Memorable in every way - except for J.D.

Mark had pitched himself into a jam. Bases loaded, one out. JD gave him a pretty tough at bat, but then fouled one off the wall that mark managed to catch and then turn into a nifty double play. Rally quashed.

No one likes to do that, but it happens. But for JD - it happened twice. In the eighth inning with Tim Y. on the mound JD did it again, this time with an easy grounder. Twin rally-killing double plays in a game where your team loses by 2. Ugh. JD, we hope your Easter goes better.

It was a better day for Andy, who's twin home runs put him firmly in the league lead in that category. Like they say, you can't win an MVP in April, but you can lose it.

Dewey, Hansoo, JD - 5 runs, 22 hits
Andy, Kurt, Mark, Tim Y. - 7 runs, 16 hits
