HURTIN' UNITS vs. HOT TUB WOODYS.

Game # 16- July 18, 2011

Hurtin' Units lose 18-13

Team Record 5-10-1

Keogh Park- Well it's official, we not going to repeat as league champions. With only 8 games remaining and the Dusty Cleats still defeated , we are officially out of the running, I'm pretty sure we were out around game 9 or 10, but I didn't have the heart to tell you guys... So with the pressure off , we can now focus on getting ready for our playoff run...

I actually think we should be having a bit more fun these days , we have nothing to loose, so let's crack open the Sambuca and let our hair down ( those with hair) and let loose... Party on Garth!!
 

Starting with our game on Wednesday, we should shake things up a little and see what happens. Speaking of Wednesday, we are supposed to have a wing night after the game, should be a good, little, bonding night...

The weather for this game was hot and sticky, in fact it's been this way for the last 5 days and by Thursday this week the temperature is going to be 38 degrees, feeling like 44 degrees with the humidity. Welcome to the dog days of summer! On game night it was 28 degrees at 6:30pm , I was sweating just thinking about the temperature...

At our 7:00pm game time, we had 9 players sweaty to go, Bob, Cal S and Bill were missing from this game.

This was a close game and we were in it until the final inning . We started off strong with 6 runs in the first 3 innings, but the Woody's scored 4 to keep pace. 6-4 Hurtin' Units after 3 innings...

In the forth and fifth innings is where we lost this game. The Woody's scored 11 runs in the next 3 innings and even though we rallied in the bottom of the sixth, with 6 runs, it would not be enough. The score at the end of six innings was 15-13 for the Woody's. In the top of seventh the Woody's would tack on 3 more runs, we were still within range, but as luck would have it, we went down swinging hard with a couple of line drive outs and a hit to the pitcher. Woody's win 18-13.

With Bill still out injured, I started this game pitching again and felt definitely more comfortable and confident than the last game. I thought I pitched pretty well, but still got hit hard. I'm hopeful that the third time's a charm.

This was a tough game , the Woody's are one of the hottest teams in the league and we gave them a good game. We had our chances , but just fell short... The Hurtin' Units have proven that we can play with any team in the league, our remaining games should be spent preparing for the playoffs and having fun....Units United!!
