Hurtin' Units vs. Strange Crew

Hurtin' Units win 23-9

Team Record 3-1-0

Keogh Park- This season new welcomed 2 new teams in to the league. The teams are named the Strange Crew and the Gamblers. The Gamblers are captained by the Troy H. and Dave C. and the Strange Crew are captained by Doug D. and  Tim O. This game was the Hurtin' Units first meeting against either team. I believe we will play the Gamblers next week. 

The weather for this game was overcast, with a few sprinkles of rain. The temperature was in the high teens. 

At game time the Units had 11 guys dressed and ready to play...almost. Erico was there, but had to slip away to make an important phone call, and did not make in back until the late innings. Fernando was missing, his wife caught the Covid. 

In the first inning, the teams looked like they matched up well, each team
scoring a single run. In the second inning, the Units' defense shut the door and in the bottom of the inning the Units sent 9 batters to the plate and when the dust settled there were 7 runs up on the board. 

In the 3rd inning, the Strange Crew showed a bit of pushback and scored 4 runs and held the Units to 2 runs. At the end of 3 innings, the Units lead 10-5. 

Over the next 3 innings, the Units took over the game, the defense would shut out the Crew in the 4th, 5th, and 6th and the Units offense would tack on 13 more runs highlighted by a centerfield homerun by Marc L.  The score at the end of 6 innings was 23-5 for the Units. 

In the top of the seventh inning, the Crew's bats would come to life scoring 4 more runs highlighted by a homerun (first of his career) by Dave Doucette. A blast over the left field fence. Awesome!!  The Units next game is May 31st vs. the Gamblers.
