In a very competitive game, both Big Feet and the Coneheads had chances to put away the other team, so maybe it ended appropriately in a tie at 14-14.
The Coneheads sprang out of the box with a three run first as Lefty, Randy and D singled to start the game and it was off from there. Then Big Feet came roaring back with a six run bottom half, and we were back on our heels.
But we had seven straight hits in the second and before you knew it, we were up 10-6. Gene made a great catch in left in the bottom of the second and it helped produce the first of three shutdown innings that saved the game. The biggest hit of the rally was a two run single by Derek, and he was just warming up. In the third we loaded the bases with one out and he promptly cleared them with a deep shot to the fence.
Now we were up 13-6, but Big Feet would not go away. They answered with four and only a great play at third base by D (5-4 putout) for the third out kept them from breaking it open.
Sadly our offense shut down at that point. Big Feet scored another four to take a lead into the last inning. But Derek wasn't done yet. He deposited the ball over the center field fence to tie it at 14. Unfortunately, we couldn't muster enough offense to even squeeze one more run out.
It looked bad as the home team had the heart of their order coming up, but Joe (who also had started a 1-6-3 double play earlier) pitched great and got three very routine outs with no further damage done.
Derek had the monster game with 4-4, both of our extra base hits, and six of the RBIs. Lefty, Randy, and Haze had three hits apiece.
Kiss this.
Milestones:
Derek 30 2b (#7)
Larry 100 r (#14)
