Hurtin' Units vs. Sons of Pitches
Hurtin' Units win 13-11
Team Record 9-2-0
Coventry Park- I enjoy playing ball at Coventry Park most of the time, but when we play on C2 at 7:00pm it is a little bit scary. At this time of the year, the sun starts off at a decent height, but by mid-game it is almost in our eyes. We do have a safety rule for this problem, we can suspend the game for 15 or more minutes until it is safe to play again. This game was full sun coming into the left side of the diamond and we had to be on our guard.
The weather for this game was warm, the infield on C2 was like being on Mars, it was so dry and dusty and the temperature was close to 30 degrees, and there was the bright sunshine beating down on us with blinding light in our eyes. In other words, it was a perfect night for baseball. The Hurtin' Units were the home team in this game.
SOPs, Fernando was the only missing player, for this game, he doesn't play Tuesday nights.
I think that the Units hitting has dropped off a little bit from the start of the season, we have struggled in recent games and this game was no different.
In the top of the first inning, the SOPs put up 2 runs and the Units went down 1,2,3 in the bottom of the inning. Jerry, Marc and Jon all got out to start our night...not a good sign.
In the second inning, the Sons would score another run, but the Units would score 3 as Peter, Brad and Chilly would all come around to score. In the third inning, the Sons would tack on another 2 runs and shut the Units out again. The score after 3 complete innings was 5-3 for the Sons of Pitches.
Over the next 4 innings the Units bats with come to life and we would score 10 runs while holding the Sons to another 5 runs in the 5th inning. The Units would not bat in the 7th and the final score was 13-10 for the Hurtin' Units. A close game, but a nice win for the 2 points.
The Hurtin' Units next game is on July 5th vs. the Bat Flippers.
