HURTIN' UNITS BATTLE HARD AGANIST REBELS...

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE RUSTY REBELS.

Chewy rallies the Rebels for the victory. 

Game # 9- June 26, 2014

Hurtin' Units lose 24-18

Team Record 0-9-0

Keogh Park- Okay, it wasn't a win, but there were some promising moments and any positive signs are good signs. 

This game was our second 9:30pm game on the season. The weather was perfect for this game; the temperature was mid 20s and the humidity was gone, there was a slight breeze and there was no rain anywhere near Tottenham.

A 9 game losing streak is starting to take it's toll on the Units players!

The Hurtin' Units were still missing a couple of bodies...Bill was a no show, Clayton was a last minute scratch, Kevin was working and Rick was on vacation. We picked up Dave F. and Cal R. to fill the roster spots.  

The Hurtin' Units were the Home team, Roman D. was our umpire.

Rebels battled tough for their victory.

Unlike the majority of our games, we actually competed against the Rebels. In fact it was a see saw battle most of the way through. In the bottom of 5th inning, the Hurtin' Units took a 16-14 lead. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep the Rebels down and they managed to score runs in the last 2 innings of the game, for the win. 

Benders friends were there for support. 

The starting pitcher for the Rebels was Peter H. and we were working him pretty good for some walks and a string of hits. Andy G. was at a graduation and showed up a little bit late. The Units went through the batting order multiple times. I was the lead off batter, for the Units, and I had 6 at bats (5 for 6). 

May the force be with the Units. 

I think this game was the best we hit all season, the Units managed to string hits together all game long, which lead to a 18 run game. If we can tighten things up defensively, we might see a win somewhere in the future. 

Bender is back...after missing a blog posting. 

The HTKP tournament is fast approaching, this will be a great opportunity for the Unit players work on their baseball skills. Looking forward to the Tourney.
