Hurtin' Units lose 26-6
Team Record- 0-7-0
Keogh Park- This game was our 2nd on week and I was hoping for better results than Tuesday night when we lost to the Brew Jays by a score of 20-7.
The weather for this game was a little strange, there were dark clouds peppered all around the park, threating to open up at a moments notice. The temperature was around 23 degrees and with the humidity it felt like 30 degrees. There was a weather forecast of thunderstorms, but they held off and we managed to play this game.
For this game we had 8 Hurtin' Units players and we picked up Andy G and Dave F. as subs. Missing were Mike, Clayton, Don, Kevin.

| It seems that every game is a challenge. |
This game was played at Keogh Park at 8:15pm and our umpire was Donny S. This game got cut short and we didn't get to play our open inning. I don't think the open would have helped us anyway.
I was perusing the standings and it wasn't looking good for the Units. Not only are we the last place team in the league (someone always holds the last place position), but we also have the highest runs against and the lowest runs for with a -74 run differential. Despite these numbers I still believe we are capable of playing much better.
I had a feeling that we would have a difficult time with this game, after all we were missing four solid bats from our lineup. We were missing our 1,3,4 and 7 rated players. All of which are solid defensively and can hit the ball hard.
We did pick up Andy and Dave, who played really well for us and I was thankful for Andy because my shoulder had tightened up and Bill's legs were bothering him. Andy came in and pitches 2 or 3 innings.

| It's definitely an up hill battle. |
We as a team, are on a bit of a learning curve; we have a rookie outfield and the infield is still trying to figure things out. The outfield guys are still trying to figure out where our opponents are hitting. We have watched more balls drop in to gaps and holes than most teams have all season long. I have confidence in all of these guys, that we can all get better, we will be a better defensive team by the end of the season.

| We're just not hitting well... |
just over an average of 10 runs per game. With the lineup and the firepower that the Units have, I have a hard time believing that we will not get better in this area of our game. I think every player on this team is capable of hitting better, it is just a slow start.
This game was a tough one, the Dogcatchers hit the ball hard and in to the right spots, it was hard to watch this game unfold and sometimes I feel for the other guys on the team, everyone is doing their best, but it is just not clickin'. Mike and I will continue tweak and help in any way we can, and hopefully we will turn things around.
Walk Watch G-1, S-3, Randy H.
