Hurtin' Units win 20-9
Team Record 11-8-1
Keogh Park- As the 2015 season winds down, we are seeing more teams that we are playing for the 2nd time around. There is only one team that the Hurtin' Units have not played this season. That team is the Dusty Cleats. We were scheduled to play them back in July, but the game was postponed due to rain.
This game against the Beer Bros. is our second meeting of the season. This game is actually the third meeting this season between the Units and the Bros. We played back on May 14th, 2015, in game #2, in a regular season game, and we played again in the HTKP tournament. In our first meeting the Beer Bros. would defeat the Units by a score of 24-23. The Units were down in the game, came all the way back to take a lead 23-22, but the Beer Bros. would win the game in the bottom of the 7th. Rat Farts!!
In the HTKP tournament, the Units played a good game, but our bats were not firing on all cylinders, and the Bros. would win by a score of 19-8. Not our finest hour.
In the dugout, in this game, we talked about doing interviews, enjoy this video from the movie Bull Durham.
The weather for this game was cooler than the Tuesday night game, the temperature was only around 20 degrees with a sun/cloud mix and light breeze.
At game time we had 9 Hurtin' Units players dressed in the BIG BLUE SHIRTS, we picked up superman sub Doug D. for the game. Missing on the night were Vince, Dave Mill. and Bo.
The Hurtin' Units were the home team for the second straight game. The Umpire was a new guy, not familiar to anyone playing, did a good job on the night.
With the Beer Bros. missing two big players from their lineup, it was the right night for flight, but not without a fight.
In the top of the 1st inning, the Beer Bros. would jump to a quick lead with 4 runs sending 9 batters to the plate. In the bottom of the inning, already down 4 runs, the Hurtin' Units would send 7 batters to the plate and would get back 3 runs as Bill, Dave and Darrell would come in to score.
In the top of the 3rd inning, the Bros. would send 6 batters to the plate, but only manage to get 1 around to score. In the home half, the Units would score 3 more runs on 7 batters, Todd, Dave and Mike would score, there were 2 fielder's choice outs and a fly out.
In the top of the 4th, the Beer Brothers would go down quickly, 1,2,3. Good "D" boys!! In the home half of the 4th inning, the Units bats came to life (kinda like Frankenstein on the table with a bolt of electricity running through his head), (Doug says the Doctor was named Frankenstein, not the guy on the table. What was the name of the guy on the table? Let's just say the bats came to life!) and the Units would pile up 7 runs sending 11 batters to the plate. Doug would score with 1 out, Todd would fly out in foul territory, Bill, Dave, Darrell, Mike, Scott, Al, would all score with 2 out, the last 3 batters would score on a double hit by yours truly to end the inning with 7.
In the top of the 5th inning the Beer Bros. would again go down 1,2,3. In the bottom of the inning the Units would go down quickly also, 1,2,3...change em up boys.In the top on the 6th inning the Beer Bros. would send 6 batters to the plate and Paul P. would be the only batter to score. In the bottom of the inning, the Units bats were still energized (they just took a short break in the 5th) and the Units would send 10 batters up and 7 more runs would come in to score. Bill would lead off and get out, Dave, Darrell would score, Mike would get out on a fielder's choice, Scott, Al, Jimmer, Mike C. and Doug came in to score. 20-6 for the Units.
The Units offense was awesome tonight led by Dave and Darrell. Four Hurtin' Units batters went 4 for 4, Dave, Mike, Darrell and Scott all had perfect batting on the night. Dave scored 4 runs, Darrell scored 3 times. Thanks go out to Doug D. (sub), who had a bit of an off night batting and was seen lying around in the outfield...LOL. UNITS UNSCRAMBLED!!
