The Empty Pitchers took two from Keko Jones last weekend, by scores of 21-4, and 10-7, giving a boost to both the Pitchers' confidence and batting averages.
In Game 1, the Pitchers scored 11 runs in the top of the first, tacked on another 8 in the second, and never looked back, even giving up their 'ups' in the fifth inning and allow the rout to come to its merciful conclusion. Felix was on fire, providing rock-solid defense at shortstop and lighting up Keko's pitcher for 3 hits (including a triple), and 6 RBIs. Brian and Alex B. saw their averages climb above .500, with Alex contributing a pair of doubles, and Eric dealt a death-blow to Keko with his team-leading fourth home run of the season.
Game 2 featured a lady-heavy Pitchers' lineup, that kept the game interesting (and close), until the time arrived to pull away. Alicia went 2-for-2 with a couple of walks and Debbie continued to focus on raising her OBP by drawing a trio of walks. David helped his own case with another multiple-hit game and a home run of his own in the sixth that put the game out of Keko's reach for good.
With the pair of wins, and a somewhat respectable record of 6-10, the Pitchers find themselves in the middle of the ADW pack, but have a tough test ahead of them with a game against the No.2 team, Da Firm, next week.
