The Rebel Force Was Strong it Was. - Yoda.

Game # 2 - Thursday May 19th, 2022

Hurtin' Units vs. Rusty Rebels

Hurtin' Units lose 13-6

Team Record 1-1-0

Keogh Park- Our second game was not as good as our first game of the season. That's not to say we didn't play well, I really thought we kept pace, but just did not capitalize on our opportunities. The Rebels look like they have a strong team this season. Their roster is peppered with strong bats and the defense is really solid. 

Over the first week of the season, it looks like the league has a handful of good teams, but let's wait and see where things sit after a month into the season. Let each team play 7 or 8 games and then we can look at the standings and stats and see where teams are headed, including the Hurtin' Units. 

The weather for this game was a bit cool, at least cooler than the game on Tuesday night. The temperature was around 12 degrees with a sun/cloud mix. 

Missing from this game was Enrico. Fernando and Chilly made their Hurtin' Units debuts and both played a good game. 

In this game with the Rebels, we got off to a slow start and the Rebels came charging out of the gate. The Rebels scored 5 runs in the first inning, mostly off a homerun by Derek E. who probably had 7 RBIs in this game. Derek would hit another homerun in the seventh inning to put this game away. 

The Hurtin' Units had decent contact while batting, but we hit to a lot of Rebel players. In the later innings we scored some runs, but a too little to late. Overall the Units had a decent game, but were out hit by the Rebels. Mark the next Rebel game (July 12th) on the calendar, these guys are beatable and it will take a solid night of defense and offense to knock them off. The Hurtin' Units next game (# 3) is May 24th vs. the Draft Kings.
