Game # 7

June 8th, 2022

Hurtin'Units vs. the Tottenham Twisters

Hurtin' Units win 16-12

Team Record- 6-1-0 

Keogh Park- For the first time since the season started the Hurtin' Units only play one game in a week. Over the first 3 weeks the Units have played 2 games a week and have played the most of any team at this point. The Rebels and Draft Kings might actually be tied with games played. There are some teams that have only played 3 games this season. By the end of a month of play, most teams will be evened out, we will all play the same amount by season's end, a 26 game schedule. 

On Monday of this week, the games were canceled because of heavy rain most of the day and through the over night. On Tuesday, it was still raining and I really thought Tuesday's game were going to be canceled, but by game times the diamonds at Coventry looked really good. On Wednesday morning (our game day) there was a beautiful sun cloud mix, the temperature was around 18 degrees at 11:00 am. 

At game time the Units had 10 players in uniform and ready to play. Chilly and Darrell were missing from this game, Enrico was running late and ended up playing the last 3 innings. 

This game was the Hurtin' Units 3rd home game in a row, and our 7th game on the season. The Hurtin' Units defense was solid in the first 4 innings keeping the Twisters off the score sheet. The Hurtin' Units offense was not hitting well, but we managed to score 7 total runs in the first 4 innings. The Twisters would score 2 runs in the 5th inning on a 2 run homerun over the left field fence by Al B. (sub for the Twisters). In the bottom of the inning, the Units would score 7 runs on the board. The score after 5 complete innings was 14-2. 

In the sixth inning, both teams would score 2 runs each. 

In the top of the 7th inning, the Twisters went on a run and scored 8 runs tightening the score. The Units would hold on and win by a score of 16-12.
