Again, we had to play shorthanded.
Randy, D, Lefty, Bruce, Buddha, and Ol' G all missing.
And they all seemed to have good reasons to be away.
But then I stumbled upon this, taken Saturday night. Ol' G dancin' like tomorrow was never gonna come:
Did this have anything to do with why he wasn't at our game today? Hmmm, we'll never know. Now is that any way for a former Mr. Conehead to act?
And then who knows where those other AWOL Coneheads really are???
Nevertheless, with the crew we did have, we got locked into a defensive battle with the Polar Bears, our opponent in the championship game last year. That game we won 8-7, and this one wasn't much different. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 through 5, we never actually trailed and up came Sting with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth and laced a single to left. Game winner, but it was the next blow that gave us the cushion that allowed us to relax just a little. He put one over the right center fielder's head and two more came in and then he scored. The Polar Bears managed to put two up in response, and we added one in the top of the seventh, but they couldn't solve Joe for anything more in the last inning and the victory was ours.
The infield collectively had a very good game. Chuck at third, Knight at SS, and Johnny at 2B fielded everything that came their way, and on one wide throw Heffe came down the line to catch and tag the base runner, and on another dug one out of the dirt. Larry caught a ton of forces at rover covering second, and we nearly had about four double plays as he got rid of the ball quickly. Solid day.
Our newest rookie Aaron caught one that took off on him with a leap. He had a tough first game at the plate, getting robbed on a diving catch. But the hits will come for him. Chuck, back in his right spot, leadoff, had three hits. Knight had a perfect 2-2 plus a sac fly. Gene continued his hot start with a perfect 3-3 including a double. Pope had a double and triple to lead the way in extra base hits.
3-0 feels good, but it would be better if our guys didn't party so hard Saturday night so Joe could relax a little. OK G?
Milestone:
Sting 100 rbi (#10)
