Units Battle the Kings.

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE DRAFT KINGS. 

Game # 17 - July 25th, 2017

Hurtin' Units win 10-7

Team Record - 10-7-0

Coventry Park- I mentioned on several occasions that it has been a tough go of it for me with the blog, I seemed very distracted this season and my interest in doing this is really not there. That said, the blog has been a wonderful resource in looking back for game information from the past, so I believe I must keep it going, even if it is the minimal amount.  

If you captain in this league long enough you are going to have a season where nothing seems to go right. For the Draft Kings, this is their season. As I am writing this, the Draft Kings have a record of 3-15-0 with 6 points. Been there, done that! In 2014, the Hurtin' Units finished the season with a record of 3-18-1, not our finest hour or season. 

For this game the weather was good, no rain, good temperature.

At game time we were missing Bob and Dave.

The game was not very exciting, and at times we did not look very good batting. Our bats have gone a little cold over the last few games. The Units managed to hold on for the win and record our 10th win of the season.

Units Get Dusted By Cleats.

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE DUSTY CLEATS.

Game #16 - July 24th, 2017

Units lose 8-7

Team Record- 9-6-0

Keogh Park- For the first time this season, the Hurtin' Units played a team for the second time. Back on May 16, 2017 the Units played the Dusty Cleats in the Units season opener. The Cleats would prevail by a 10-3 score. I guess our bats were a little to start the season. 

At game time, for this second game, the Units were missing Dave and Bob.

The weather was perfect, the temperature was around 23 degrees, no wind and a sun/cloud mix.

The game went back and forth with both teams taking the lead at some point in the game. 

Going in to the top of the seventh inning, the Units trailed by a score of 8-7. The Units would get the based loaded with 2 out and Winston G. coming to the plate. Winston would hit the ball hard in to the gap in RCF, but the Cleats outfielder would make a great catch and the game was over. The Dusty Cleats would prevail (again) by a score of 8-7.  The Hurtin' Units would lose their 3rd one run game of the season. 

The Units  next game is Tuesday July 25th, 2017 vs. the Draft Kings.
