| Dodge City... the toughest, scariest place in the league. |
Hurtin' Units win 7-4
Team Record 12-12-1
Dodge City-It had been a week since the Hurtin'Units had last been on the diamond; last Tuesday night(Game #24)the Units lost to the Dusty Cleats by a score of 8-3 followed by a wing night back at the Legion.
This game, against Dodge City, was our final road trip of the season, as we headed into the toughest, meanest and scariest city in the entire T.O.T league(actually the only city in the league, but that doesn't make it less scary). It was the Hurtin' Units' turn to listen to the steam whistle and the clickity clack, as we rode the train headed in to Dodge City.

| Welcome to Dodge City... I'd rather be at Grisslieland. |
When in Dodge City, visiting players must be vigilant at all times, one look in the wrong direction you could end up with a eye full of Beechy or ya might see somethin' disturbin', like the Codfather doin' some fishy activities in some dark alley. It's a scary place!!
On Monday evening, the Dodge City Rounders laid an ass kickin' on the Gruesome Devils (from Gruesomevale) by a score of 22-9. So when the Units rolled in to town, the Rounders were sittin' high on their horses, lickin' their chops (probably pork) and thinkin' they was going to brand the Units losers. Well, I'm here to tell ya that ain't the story of this here game.

At game time, we had 10 players (Todd was the 11th player, but he was running late) dressed in Navy Blue shirts. Bo was the only missing on the night.
The Hurtin' Units were the visitin' team. The umpire was Lou.
Most nights, not all, I will snap a shot of the game sheet to assist me in the blog. On this night, I forgot to snap a picture of the sheet. Doh!! On Wednesday evening, following our game against the Sliders, we went back to the Legion and the game sheet was still in the drop box, snap, snap, snap...I had a picture of the Dodge City vs.Hurtin' Unit game sheet. I included the game sheet in this posting of the blog.

 HURTIN' UNITS SCORESHEET
This game against the Rounders was our 3rd meeting on the season. In our 1st meeting the Rounders and the Units would end in a draw, 17-17. The 2nd meeting was at the HTKP tournament and the Rounders with defeat the Units by a score of 9-4, a close game where neither team could muster up much offense. The 3rd meeting would be this game and the Units kept the batters, of the Rounders, off balance all night long.
This game was actually another close game between the 2 teams. The score going in to the top of the 6th inning was only 5-4 for the Units until, Mike got on base and Al F. hit an in the park homerun, in the the top of the 6th, to add some insurance runs for the Units. The Units shut the door in the 6th and 7th to stop the Rounders from making a come back.
This game was definitely my most active game all season. I had 3 pop up outs, 2 ground balls for plays to first base, 3 foul out/ strike outs and one hard hit shot up the middle (hit by Beechy) that just tipped off my glove.

Following the game we hung out at the Coventry Saloon (pavilion) and enjoyed our last Toonie Tuesday of the season. While we were enjoying our beverages, I asked guys to fill out award ballots (I got 9 returned ballot sheets), we discussed wearing white shirts for our game against the Sliders and we celebrated our 12th win of the season. We were once again a .500 team. Nice job guys. UNITS UNSCATHED!!
