You're 0-2 with a walk, albeit it was a bases loaded walk for an RBI. Everyone around you is hitting the crap out of the ball, or getting bloopers that fall in and bounders that bleed through, or getting a Conehead double on an error.
You could just keep doing what you're doing, the odds are that you'll get a line drive or something.
Instead if you're lefty Bruce, you go out of the box, literally in this case, to bat in the other box, right handed. And you smash the ball all the way to the left center fence.
That's how this game went from beginning to end, and the final score was 28-7, in four innings. We just ran out of time to do even more damage.
After taking a commanding 13-4 lead after three we nearly batted around twice in the fourth as we plated 15 runs. It kind of took out whatever drama there was to that point, he wrote understatedly.
WE HAD 18 STRAIGHT HITS in the frame. Is that how you spell RUST?
Haze had two doubles his first three times up and didn't even lead the team in doubles, because Randy had four in his first four ABs, 5-5 altogether and lead the team with 4 RBIs. Chris wasn't satisfied with his swing tonight. He was only 3-4 plus a sac fly. Sting was 4-4 with a double and a sac fly and only missed a second double or maybe a triple because we were going base to base in his last at bat when he split the center fielders. Chopper, Lefty, Haze were also all 4-4, Gene, Heffe and Johnny were all 3-4, and Charlie had a couple of hits and pitched a great game. Bruce was oh Bruce with his one lonely right handed hit, but he gave me my lead, so thanks!
Along the way there was some stellar defense. Gene set the tone with a great catch on a blast in the first inning, preventing the Polar Bears from denting the 5-0 lead we took our first time up. Charlie got a swinging K in the third inning. Randy hard charged a slow bouncer in the last inning and fired a bullet that nearly crossed up Heffe at first but he managed to hang on. Earlier someone had thrown a ball into foul territory over the first base bag and Heffe managed to drag his foot on the bag as he crossed into foul territory to catch it. And perhaps the play of the game was the last one - Johnny getting a great jump on a smash ticketed for right center and leaping to snag it for the last out.
And so we reversed the slowest start in the JFT version of the Coneheads that I can remember. We are now in a three way tie for second place, believe it or not, at 2-3. On the website it has us in second because thanks to this game we have the best run differential. In my tallying we are actually in third by tie-breakers but it doesn't matter - the league site states in plain English that all four teams will be in the playoffs. We can relax and just enjoy the games like we did tonight, and look what happens, because WE ARE THE CONEHEADS.
