An individual Conehead game for the ages was wasted Monday night as we fell to Mission Church I (where are II and III, etc.?), 17-16.
Chauncey hit a grand slam on his way to a 4-4 eight RBI night as he single-handedly tried to carry us to victory. He hit three slicing line drives to right center and a bomb nearly to field six in left center.
He had half of our RBIs. His slam narrowed the margin to 7-6 after we gifted the Church seven runs in the first on walks and errors. When we came through with a Conehead inning (the minimum ten run variety)in the fourth, we were looking pretty good with a 16-12 lead. But the Missionaries must have had god on their side. They answered with five to take the narrow one run lead. We loaded the bases with one out in the last inning, but on a fluky dribbler a double play ended our last chance.
Gene made a couple of nice grabs in LF on knuckle ball fly outs. Johnny made a great pickup of a ball in the 5-6 hole. Leadoff Lefty was the only Head with three hits besides Chauncey, although Heffe coaxed three walks and had a bloop hit to post a perfect 1.000 OBP.
Milestones:
8/26:
Heffe 120 bb (#3)
As far as the Orinda playoffs. We came, we routed the Warhogs twice as we should, but fell short twice to the Old Scouts mostly because we were missing several of our best players. One of these years we will go into the Orinda playoffs with our full squad, I hope. We would at least be more in the mix.
8-0 going into the last week was pretty sweet but left a bitter aftertaste after the playoffs.
Thanks to those who did show up and give their all. A special thanks to Chris for clearing his schedule for the weekend and giving us a shot.
