Game # 10

June 20, 2022

Hurtin' Units vs. The Master Batters

Hurtin' Units lose 11-10

Team Record- 8-2-0

Keogh Park- The Master Batters were last year's champions of the league and the Hurtin' Units were the winners of the regular season, so it was time for a final showdown for all the marbles. I know what you're thinking, the teams are different and this game has nothing to do with last season. This is true and the only players on the Units are Pete and myself and for the Master Batters there are Dave and Gord. Alright, it's a new season with mostly new teams, but these teams have always had good battles. 

The weather for this game was warm, cloudy with over cast and there had been a threat of rain all day, but it actually turned out to be a good night for ball. 

At game time, the Hurtin' Units had 11 guys dressed in red and the only missing player was Brad who needed a maintenance day. The Units were the visitors in this game. 

This was probably the worst I've seen this team hit this season. In our last
game, sorry 2 games ago,  (32- 13 vs. the Dogcatchers)  we could touch the ball and we had a hit, this game we touched the ball and it was an out. I give a lot of credit to the Batters pitcher (Scotty B.) who kept us off balance all night. Scotty was pitching from so far back that it basically through our timing off. The whole Hurtin' Units team had an off night. We were popping the ball up, hitting soft grounders and when we did get a hit, it was caught. So we chalk this game up to " Just one of those nights". The down side is that the Units don't play again until the next Tuesday so we have this loss in our heads until then. 

I did not get a picture of the game sheet for this game, so I will not post a boxscore. 

Next up for the Hurtin' Units are the Sons of Pitches on June 28th.
