That Ball is Gone!

It looked like it would be a very short game.. like 2 innings. Commish fill in Matt only came with two balls and in the top of the second, Jeff fouled one into the gutter for an out and Tim hit one on the school roof for a homer. Fortunately Bob had balls, so we played on.

Tim's roof shot was one of (only) 3 homers hit this hot, steamy, windless day. A merciless sun baked the extra deep lines all morning. The other two were by Jeff, who laughs at the extra deep lines, and simply hits 'em toward the tree. Jeff's grander in the top of the 8th proved the winning blow.

After scoring 5 in the first, Home boys Adrian, Andy, JD and Matt were held scoreless until a furious comeback attempt in the bottom of the ninth fell 2 runs short.

Visiting Bob, Jeff, Tim and Zach clawed away at the early deficit, taking the lead on the eighth, for the 9-7 win.

Bob, Jeff, Tim, Zack - 9 runs, 14 hits

Adrian, Andy, JD, Matt - 7 runs, 23 hits

HR: Rhodes 2 (15), Young (5)
