Well, the good news is that we won't have to play that 9:30 a.m. game next week.
The Empty Pitchers fell behind the hated Hot Cousins early, and were never able to come back, getting knocked out of the playoffs in a 4-1 loss. Perhaps most painful is knowing that the Cousins scored all of those runs with two outs.
David did get the job done at the top of the order, going 3-for-4 on the day, Pat had a couple of hits, and Greg had a triple in the fifth inning (eventually scoring the Pitchers' lone run on a hit by Adam), but other than that, there was little to report offensively. The Pitchers' bats were frigid on the first truly autumnal-feeling day of the fall.
The team mustered a bit of a comeback in the bottom of the seventh, putting a couple of runners on, but it was too little, too late. With luck, the two remaining doubleheaders will get the team back on track, as well as dim the feelings of devastation Coach Korney has carried with her these past few days ... maybe somewhere therein lies the true reason the Commish schedules the playoffs in the midst of the regular season.
