Quick - who sang the song in the title of this post? Only Bill may be old enough to remember this one...no cheating...*
3-1 in the Fall Season is a great start for Transdyn/Kapsch, especially considering one of the wins is against defending playoff champion the Brews Bros.
And then there is winning the ugly ones, this week in the case of beating Pitches Be Crazy 9-6. We were shorthanded, but not desperately so, missing three regular outfielders, plus super sub Gregg. We didn't hit, well not much by our standards, no extra base hits at all.
But we walked, and walked and walked. Six in all and three of them were with the bases loaded (Rusty X2 and yours truly), and that was the difference in the three run game.
And we played defense. The critical moment in the game came in the bottom of the sixth with the score stuck at the final tally of 9-6. There was a medium deep fly ball to Cage, and the runner on third put his head down and tagged up. He was fast, but not as fast as Cage's bullet on the fly to Monty. He was dead out. After that the air was out of the Crazy balloon. Even though we didn't add on in the top of the seventh, after a sizzling line drive to third to open the bottom half that D caught, they went down quietly on a fly out and a ground out.
Cage and Hama had three hits, and Rusty was 2-2 plus the two bases loaded walks.
Winning the ugly ones is a good sign.
