We were discombobulated. Bruce a no show, Knight late - it had the makings of an upset. People out of position, the lineup all jumbled up. Poor Gene thought he was a jinx.
Just when we got the Big Head from our 23-3 win last week, we almost tripped over the Big Feet. We were down 3-0 in the first, and that nearly was enough to put us away on an off night. But in the end our defense saved us from getting too far behind, and we put just enough of a rally together in the bottom of the seventh to prevail 6-5 on a walk-off 120 foot fly out.
Randy and Gene made diving catches in the outfield to provide the highlights. Joe got a K to go with holding a pretty decent hitting Big Feet team to single runs in the third and fourth after the first inning, aided in part by a sweet double play turned by the Knight from a feed from Derek at third. The Lefty to Lefty to Lefty double play, gotta love it.
In the bottom of the seventh Buddha, Gene and Joe came up with the table setters to load the bases with one out. Knight hit a line drive two run single to tie it up and Chuck came though with a hit to reload the bases. Up strode the strongest guy on the team and you knew he would park one to deep right to allow Haz, running for Joe at third, to waltz home. But this is reality and Heffe just managed a sinking liner to LC that the outfielder managed to corral, and he was only about 120 Big Feet out. Jeff took off from third, and even though the throw beat him by plenty, he had to throw it off balance and it was wide and Jeff scored easily.
A good team wins the close ones on nights when they aren't at their best and we proved it once again.
