HURTIN' UNITS HAVE NO BITE AGAINST DOGCATCHERS.

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE DOGCATCHERS.

Game # 9 - June  2017

Hurtin' Units lose 10-6

Team Record - 5-4-0

Coventry Park- This game was our only game of the week. We were also the visitors again for the 7th time in 9 games. 

Between the last game (last Wednesday) and this game a bunch of things happened, not to our team, but in the sports world. The Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup and the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship.

Not baseball related, Adam West passed away. 

At game time we had 12 players dressed in the green ready to play. We have had great attendance this season, this is probably the fourth time or more, we have had 12 players in our lineup. Ryan would leave this game early with a calf injury.

The weather for this game was perfect, the temperature was around 20 degrees, the skies were clear and there was a slight breeze. 

This game was very similar to our first game of the season when we lost to the Dusty Cleats by a score of 10-3. Back in the game in May, it was our first game of the season and it was understandable that our timing and hitting be off a little. 

		1	2	3	4	5	6	7	Total

In this game vs. the Dogcatchers, we played better than the score would indicate. We hit the ball hard, we hit it well, the only problem was we hit it to a Dogcatcher player almost every time. Kevin C. (Skippy) was a magnet for the Hurtin' Units hit balls, in fact the Dogcatchers entire outfield was really good. Brian R. (outfielder for Dogcatchers) made the catch of the season, on a long hit ball, over his shoulder, almost on the warning track in RCF, robbing the Units of at least 2 runs, if not 3. The catch of the season!!

There are some nights that the score does not reflect the way the bats were hitting, the Units made good contact, had chances on the bases, but lady luck was just not on our side in this game. I don't think she has been around for the last 3 games. Someone send Lady Luck an email inviting her to our games.

The Hurtin' Units next game is Tuesday June 19th vs. the Master Batters.
