Left for dead, the Coneheads rose up from the hibernating through a 0-3 start to claim three straight victories, including Monday night gutting it out against the defending Champions Cream and Clear, 17-12.
We are right in the thick of the race at 3-3 believe it or not. The two teams at the top both lost, and now there is a three way tie for first, with us just a game behind in fourth, the final playoff spot.
Don't poke the bear, we always say!
(That's us, do I have to explain?)
Last week we simply crushed Reeelaax 26-12. We included the first true Conehead inning in a while, scoring 12 in the third to put the game out of each early. Pope and Chopper lead the way with a homer and a double and five RBIs each, and Ol' G continued his sizzling year with a 5-5 night.
Monday night, though, was a much bigger challenge. C&C had owned us for a bit, but we put it on them with an eight run top of the first. Ten of the twelve in our lineup hit safely.
Those boys can hit but it makes a difference when you play the whole game from behind - it puts more pressure on anyone.
More importantly, in the third and fourth we added on. Four in the third, highlighted by Chopper's bases loaded double. In the fifth, seven straight hits produced the five that counted, and Johnny was safe but there was a bad call, and I am completely objective in this matter.
Larry held C&C to eight runs in four innings, no small feat, and Joe came in for the save. They were aided by the return of the vaunted Conehead defense. Ol' G picked a hot shot at second in the second. Patrick simply gunned down a would be run in the third from medium center field - Chuck at the dish made a great pickup of the hot throw. And Larry made a life saving stab at a shot up the middle.
Can it be? Can we make it four in a row? Tune in next week.
