WINNER, WINNER, WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED???

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE BEER BROS. 

Game # 8 - June 7th, 2017

Hurtin' Units lose 12-11

Team Record- 5-3-0

Coventry Park- We have not had a great week. On Monday, the Units lost to the Sons of Pitches in a game that probably should not have been played. The lights going out, the late start and the cool and damp weather should have kept this game from being played, but for some reason we decided to play. 

On Wednesday (this game) we lost a game that was all but over, the final out was a catch that would be made 99 times out of a 100, but for some crazy reason it was dropped and the inning continued. " It's not over until it's over". 

This game was a scheduled 8:00pm start at Coventry Park (3). This is the second time we have played at Coventry on a Wednesday. The Units were the Home team for this game.

The weather for this game was perfect. The temperature was hovering around 18 degrees, there was no wind and plenty of sunshine. 

AT game time we were down 2 players. Dave and Keith were absent.

		1	2	3	4	5	6	7	Total
	Hurtin' Units	2	1	2	2	0	2	2	11
	Beer Bros.	3	0	4	0	0	0	5	12

I thought this was a fun game despite the way it ended. The game was even most of the night and after 5 complete innings, nothing had been decided. 

In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Units would score 2 runs and take the lead. 

In the top of the seventh inning (open), the Hurtin' Units had a 2 run lead and had not given up a run in the last 3 innings. The Beer Bros. lead of batter was Geoff, he would pop out to Bobby at first base, 1 out. The next batter was Cliff T. (top of the order) and Cliff would pop out to Darren behind second base, 2 out. The next batter would hit a line drive to Lefty at short, Lefty didn't even have to move, the ball appeared to go in the glove, but then it came right back out landing on the ground in front of Lefty. I thought the play was so routine, I took off my glove and mask. 

The Beer Bros. would go on to score 5 runs with 2 out. What the heck happened???

In the bottom of the seventh inning (open), the Units were now down by a score of 12 to 9. The Units would rally and get the tying run to third base with 2 out, Bobby V. would hit a ground ball to Paul P. (short stop for Bros.) and Paul would force Jimmer out at second base for the final out. Units would lose by a score of 12-11. 

The Units next game is Wednesday June 14th at 7:00pm at Keogh Park.
