Our new signature - the walk off double play (two weeks in a row).
This one had a little help from the ump - I think he had to use the facilities. But a DP is a DP and a win's a win, you make your own breaks, or any other cliche you want to invoke.
So when Pauly stepped on third and fired to second and the runner was declared out, Kapsch had its fourth win in a row (going back to 2015) over Pleasanton Auto, 15-12, but it wasn't really that close.
That's because we broke out like gangbusters to an 11-1 lead. It started with a monster solo shot off Gregg's bat way up in the trees in the bottom of the first. Then we added on four more, with the clutch hit being a two out, two run double by Coop.
In the second more of the same, bases loaded this time for Gregg with one out. He just missed this one, and only got a sac fly, but then Bert stepped in. He hit a three run moon shot, prompting Gregg to tell him, "you complete me". Maybe they should get a room.
Add to that another clutch two out two run hit in the third, this time a Monty bases loaded single, and the energy drained like oil from the PA motor. They did manage to scratch back to make it close, but we never had doubt, and we had the hammer to boot.
Along the way, Hama had a lot of hitters eating out of his hand. He mixes front and back and side to side and high and low and back spin and knucklers as well as any pitcher around, and there were a lot of popups and weak grounders to show for it.
In the mean time, our defense helped him as well. The ESPN play was a hot shot to D's back hand at third, a quick step to the bag, and throw to Mario at second. It was so quick, Mario's relay to first only missed the triple play by a step.
Runner up was a nice stop by Jason and throw home with the bases loaded to get the lead runner and save a run in the sixth when PA was getting within striking distance.
The heart of the lineup (Gregg, Bert and D) was 8-8 with eight RBIs, and three sac flies. Mario, Coop and J had the other multi-hit games.
Of note: There are three players hitting 1.000 through two games. Pentony has the HR, while D has seven RBIs. But heffe is 1-1 with three walks, so the only one that hasn't made an out yet (they each have a sac fly). Who would you build your team around? (Don't answer that)
Milestones:
Cage 120 bb (#3)
Gregg 10 hr (#10)
