I wasn't really paying attention, but it looked like the BBQ's team won the game before us (they had a doubleheader). They were pretty hot coming in. Their third baseman made all the plays in the first couple of innings, including robbing me on a line drive that should have been past third; and it ended our first inning with only two runs. He made great plays on Knight (and someone else too). They scored two in the first to match us, hitting a few line shots. When we scored four in the third to take an 8-2 lead, they answered with five. The game could have gone either way at that point.
But both teams reverted to form after that, starting with a Randy run scoring double in the fourth and punctuated by Bruce's laser two run homer to center in the sixth. In between were clutch two run hits by Chuck and Larry in the fifth. In all we outscored BBQ's 11-0 in the last three innings, and won going away 19-7.
BBQ's beat us once, in 2010. It's hard to fathom, but as we showed last week, sometimes every team goes cold. Now is the time to set up some momentum for going into the playoffs in about a month, and tonight was a good start.
Chuck had himself a game with four hits. Randy continued his heat stroke with three hits, all for extra bases, and made the defensive stop of the game at third base. Good thing he got all that out of his system, because we play against him tomorrow night in Orinda. Johnny in RC also made a great running catch, so he too can go all funky tomorrow night. Ol' G and Old Stink Eye also had three hits. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit. Good all around game in general.
