Mikey C, really, you go to visit the folks in Arizona and you can't drive all night to make the MDSSL 9:30 game? Instead you show up in street clothes in the 5th inning? You had to spend the night in a motel half way? Man, you look 35 so you better just start acting 35. No matter that you are over 50 like the rest of us.
And Tom O, you have been carrying us for weeks with your bat and glove...what right do you have to go on vacation??? We have the entire month of December off for that.
I blame you two. Because otherwise I would have to look within, and at my teammates who struggled mightily but fell short against Concord Red Thursday. And we wouldn't want that.
As you can gather, Walnut Creek Blue went down in ignominious defeat Thursday to Concord Red by the score of 24-17. We took an early lead (7-1) through two innings, but Red came roaring back with 9 runs in the 3rd and 4th, and even though we closed to 16-15 after the sixth, it seemed like Red had the momentum after the middle innings. They put us away with an 8 run top of the ninth open inning, and to put the icing on the cake or nail in the coffin (pick your cliched metaphor), turned a double play on the second batter of our ninth to clear up any notions of a last minute comeback.
Ken H and the guy who bats at the top of the lineup led WC Blue with five hits apiece. Donnie C placed the ball extremely well this game - line drives and shots through the 5-6 hole - he couldn't quite pull off being so self-deprecating this time since he was 3 for 4 with a walk. Brian B was 4 for 5, and Bill D hit a couple of long shots for an RBI double and triple for 6 of our first 9 runs, and scored 3 runs.
But in the end Mr. Gold Glove came back in to pitch the 9th, and got his own save by shutting us down. I must note he lived up to his Gilded Mitt when he turned that DP on the shot by Murray H in the 9th.
