Hurtin' Units win 17-5
Team Record 11-1-1
Keogh Park- On another hot and humid evening, the Hurtin' Units have reached the half way point in the 2010 T.O.T season. Tonight's game was our 13th and how quickly it goes by... On this night we didn't only have the heat and humidity, we also had lighting conditions to contend with. Keogh Park is much improved this year, the new fencing and backstop, the regraded outfield, the trees down the foul lines have been cut back, and even though the lights were re-aimed, re-lamped and cleaned we have had problems with them... Last night we had no lights working in left field, two lights on the third base line by the bleachers out, and several single lights in other parts of the diamond were also not working...
When the conditions are not ideal, i.e lighting, gigantic puddles of water on the field, sun streaming into our eyes, it seems to steal something from the game. Last night I felt that way, at times I felt we were rushed and we were. I felt the banter between the teams was not there, there seemed to be this sense of urgency hovering over the later innings, which really kept things moving along, but made me feel like we were not getting what we came for, not taking the time to make sure the job was done right... Sure we won the game, but I felt something was missing. According to the President of league, the lights should be fixed on Tuesday, making the Wednesday games more enjoy for whom ever is playing...
At game time, we had 10 players and the Rounders only had 9. Uncle Tom and Nyzee were away. We supplied the Rounders with a catcher for the evening.
Boxscore: ( My Camera battery is dead, update later)
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th Total
Hurtin' Units. 17
Dodge City 5
We played a solid game, our defense held the Rounders to only 5 runs, and our bats were ripping the cover off the ball...The ball seemed to be rocketing off our bats, probably the most solid hits this season... Jens and Robin really hit hard and the results were 17 runs total for the Units over 6 innings played... UNITS UNLIT !!
