Game # 18 - July 28, 2015
Hurtin' Units lose 10-8
Team Record 9-8-1
Coventry Park - It seems like a long time since we were at Coventry Park. I went back and looked when we last played at here, it was June 16th. The Units were scheduled to play on June 30th and again on July 7th, at Coventry, but both of these games were rained out and rescheduled.

| Here boy... |
The weather for this game was stinkin' hot; the daytime temperature was 32 degrees and with the humidity it felt like 100 degrees (of coarse I'm kidding), or maybe it felt like 36 degrees. There was a breeze which made it feel a little more comfortable.
We were a little short staffed on this night, with only 7 Hurtin' Unit players dressed for this game. Missing on the night were the 2 Daves, Darrell, Cookie and Vince. We picked up 3 subs, thanks go out to Doug D., Dave F. and Paul G. Thanks guys.
This game was a much better defensive game than the game vs. the Draft Kings. The Hurtin' Units batting is still experiencing the summer blahs and hopefully they get over them soon.
The Hurtin' Units were the visitors again in this game. The umpire was Lou.
In the first inning the Hurtin' Units would send 6 batters to the plate and score only a single run. Al came around to score on a hit by Mike. In the bottom of the inning, the Catchers would bring up 6 batters also, but would put 2 runs on the scoreboard.
In the top of the second inning the Units sent 7 batters to the plate, two of the super subs (Doug and Dave) would come around to score. In the bottom of the inning, the Catchers would also sent 7 batters to the plate and they would also score 2 runs. Crap, can't seem to catch a break!!
In the top of the third inning, Mikey Boy would hit a lead off triple, Todd would fly out next at bat, but the hit was deep enough to score Mikey from third. The next 2 Units batters (Bo, Scott) would get out to end the inning. In the home half the Units slowed the Catchers down with a four batter, no run inning. At the end of 3 complete innings the Units and Catchers were tied at 4-4.
In the top of the forth inning, the Units were shut down (for the first time in the game) by the awesome defense of the Dogcatchers. Four batters came up, 3 batters sat down, Doug was the only base runner. In the bottom of the inning, the Dogcatchers sent 7 batters to the plate and 2 more runs would come around to score. 6-4 Dogcatchers.
In the fifth inning, both teams would score 4 runs each. The Units would send up 9 batters and Al, Todd, Bo and Scott would come around to score. The Dogcatchers would counter with 9 batters also, scoring their 4 runs. That would be all the scoring in this game. The Units would be shut out in the 6th and 7th innings. In the sixth they would go down 1,2,3, and would only send 5 batters to the plate in the 7th inning, stranding Bo and Scott on base.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Dogcatchers would go down quickly also. The lead off batter would get a single, the second batter would get out, the next Dogcatcher batter (Bill C.) would hit a ground ball to Bo, playing second, Bo would touch second for a force out and throw to first base for the out of the batter. A double play to end the sixth inning. The home team Dogcatchers would not have to play the home half of the seventh inning.
The was a much better defensive game for the Units (good defense by the Catchers also, Bill C. and Mooner robbed us at third base) compared to the game vs. The Draft Kings. We did not play well, at all, against the Kings. This game we were at least competitive. I can't really figure out what has happened to our hitting, I am going to change a few things up and see what happens.
On Thursday evening I subbed for the Sons of Pitches vs. the Sliders. I never expected to play, I was at the park to watch, but they needed a player, so I was called upon to play. On the other side (Sliders) our teammate Todd H. was subbing for the Sliders. Todd had a good game, and was a monster hitting. I played LCF and Todd hit a shot high over the LCF fence into the trees, a towering homerun, probably his best hit of the season. Great to see, good job Todd. UNITS UNSETTLED!!!
