What a weird game.
There we were missing seven regulars, Chuck with his mystery injury so he wasn't leading off again, and our lineup didn't resemble anything like, well, our lineup. And the first two innings, we hit, or rather didn't hit like it.
And we had two K's in one inning.
But we scratched a run across a run in the top of the third to take our first lead on a ground out by tours truly. I was wondering if that run was going to have to stand up.
And then...
Our Conehead inning in the fourth started off innocently enough. A walk to Gene (who went 2-2 with two walks and 3 RBIs), and a fly out. But seven singles and a bases loaded walk later, Gene came up again and he busted it open with a two run Conehead double, which was our only extra base hit of the game. After another run scoring single and another bases loaded walk (the Holy Sox pitchers helped us out with eight walks altogether), it was 12-2 and the game might as well be called right then. The final score was 14-2.
Chopper and the Knight led us with three hits, and Pope joined Gene in the three RBI club. Chopper made the acrobatic play of the game on a throw home stretching this way and that while tiptoeing the plate. He can quit his day job - he has a future in the circus. No I didn't mean as a clown but as a trapeze artist.
Knight fought off the sun on a couple of high popups in shallow left, and Pope hung in on a tricky hard hit fly ball that got caught up in the wind. But mostly Joe just sent the Holy Sox back into the dugout after hitting Holy Rollers.
Hopefully we have both halves of our team next week.
