 Inglorious Batsters... scary good.  

Game # 9 

June 16th, 2022

Hurtin' Units vs. Inglorious Batsters.

Hurtin' Units win 22-13

Team Record - 8-1-0

Keogh Park- I personally have always liked playing the Batsers, I really like their captains and they are usually a fun team to play. This season the Batsters are have a difficult time on the field, coming in to this game they had not won a game. It worries me when playing teams are due and we have to play them.

The weather for this game was great, warm and sun/cloud mix and just a great night for baseball.

At game time, we had 10 guys dressed and ready (somewhat ready) to take on the Batsters. Missing from this game were Chilly and Darrell. The Units were the home team in this game. 

So you remember how I said I don't like playing teams that are overdue to win a game, this is how I was feeling in this game. The Batsters have a good hitting team (Kahuna, Will, Lahey, etc.) and they showed us that power in the first couple of innings. In the first inning, the Batsters put up 4 runs and in the second inning, they scored another 7 runs against us, the Units countered with 2 in the first and 2 in the second. The score after 2 complete innings was 11-4 for the Batsters. 

In the third inning, the Units stopped the offense of the Batsters and in the bottom of the inning the Units would score 6 runs. In the forth inning the Batsters would score only a single run and the Units would tack on another 7 runs to make the score 17-12 for the Units. 

Over the next 3 innings, the Units defense played stellar baseball allowing the Batsters to score only one more run. The Units cooled off a bit also, but still managed to score 5 more runs and not have to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning. The final score 22-13 for the Units. The Hurtin' Units next game is on June 20th vs. the Master Batters.
