Hurtin' Units lose 14-9
Team Record- 5-2-0
Keogh Park- On Tuesday morning (May 6th), I woke up feeling a little ripped off. I didn't feel this way because of the loss, the night before, against the Sons of Pitches, no I felt this way because of the way this game played out.
Our game was scheduled for 9:30pm, and we didn't get on the field until 10:05pm. This should not have happened! In the earlier games, there should not have been no new innings after 1 hour and 5 minutes. If the Units and Pitches didn't get on the field until after 10:00pm, this clearly did not happen. We (the Units and Pitches) would only get 4.5 innings in before the lights would go out . The Sons of Pitches were leading the game, and would prevail by a score of 14-9.
When the lights went out the 2 teams would scramble looking for our bags, bases and bats. Some of us had cell phones looking for our stuff.
On a more positive note, Darren (Lefty) showed up, to the game, wearing his newly purchased baseball cleats, Hurtin' Units baseball hat, Units jersey and a brand spankin' new pair of white baseball pants with a lovely, green pinstripe down the sides. Lefty looked like a professional player. "Every girl crazy about a sharp dressed man". Awesome!!
The weather for this game was cool and damp, which made sitting and waiting even more difficult. There was even some light rain during the game.
The Units were the visitors again, for the 6th time in 7 games.
At game time we had 11 players dressed in Kelly Green waiting to play. Dave was the only missing body.
I really didn't like much about this game at all, I was frustrated right from start that we had to wait and that frustration just carried through the entire game. My least enjoyable game this season.
The Hurtin' Units next game is Wednesday June 7th at Coventry Park at 8:00pm.
