It seems all the other Creakers did the sane thing and cut their games to seven innings in a nod to the heat wave. Not so Red and Black, heat wave hah! We spit in the heat. Actually some of us might have been frothing at the mouth by the end.
As it turned out, Red should have called the game after 4 - we actually had outplayed Black at that point and led 9-7. Quit while you're ahead, a wise man once said. Or was that my mom. Someone should have faked a fainting spell or something. Instead Black's hitters took over and we started gifting runs as is our habit, and we stopped scoring. Bad combination and they ran away to a 19-13 victory.
We had a few highlights. James Del Rio continued his assault on Creaker pitching, with a home run and two run scoring doubles among four hits. Rich Brown drove in three runs on two hits, and gunned down two runners at second - once on a catch and gun on a fly to right center and once on a 'single' to right center turned into a fielder's choice. On the latter Al Kidwell did his best Twister move holding the bag while catching the slightly off throw. Bill Marthinsen and Randy Crase were the other Reds with three hits.
No one got hurt, the geese stayed away, and we put the first half behind us - hopefully we will play more consistently and to our potential in the second half.
