The Empty Pitchers ran their record to 6-0 on Sunday, defeating the Honey Nut Ichiros in a doubleheader by scores of 8-4 and 9-6.
Adam followed the Pitcher tradition of making a major offensive contribution in his debut, going 3-for-3 with an astounding four RBIs and a pair of runs. Damian and Raul (the first game’s winning pitcher) also picked up three hits each, while Jon continued his torrid pace at the plate, going 2-for-2, and connecting with Julie on an outfield relay to record a key out at the plate.
In the second game, tough guys Greg and Pat showed some restraint, keeping the ball in the park for a change and picking up three hits each. David rolled out of bed in time to pick up his third W of the early season, while Damian had the play of the game in right centerfield, making a shoestring catch with runners on to end an inning and an Ichiros rally.
Not that the lady Pitchers failed to contribute to the team effort in their own special ways. Val picked up her first-ever RBI before being forced out of the first game with a pulled groin; Nicole took a page from her 2006 season to effectively Chantharaj the Ichiros pitcher into walking her an unheard of six times between the two games; and Kate, also making her Pitcher debut, came through on two fronts: 1) Constructing lovely daisy chains for the entire team, and later, 2) Charming Jeremy’s barkeep Timmy into free shots for the whole team. Well done to all.
