HURTIN' UNITS TIED UP IN SEASON OPENER...

HURTIN' UNITS VS. THE DOGCATCHERS...

Game # 1 - May 2, 2012


Hurtin' Units tie 5-5


Team Record 0-0-1

Keogh Park- The season opener seemed to take forever to arrive. We had two batting sessions in the month of April and on opening night it looked like we hadn't swung the bats in a couple of years. Now I really want to be fair here, the batters boxes were just nasty, the muck was ankle deep and most guys could not even get any type of footing. The heavy rain earlier in the evening (around 5:30pm) made the things very uncomfortable at the plate, hence the 5-5 score.

At game time we had our full team, 12 guys all warmed up and ready to go...

There really wasn't a lot to talk about, other than the solid defense displayed by both teams. Gord Robinson and Rob Rumbolt turned a beautiful double play in the middle innings and Craig (the new guy, as Roman likes to call him), made a couple of nice catches in the field, we looked pretty solid and if we can get the bats going we should be able to compete with most teams...


Pitch Bits: Since this is my first season as a P1, I thought I would track my progress with walks, strike outs and game scores, as well as any other bits of pitching related information. In this game I gave up 1 walk and struck out 2 batters, allowing 5 runs to score...
It doesn't hurt to have such a solid defense behind me...



It's early in the season..
