The Pitchers took both games of a doubleheader from the Avengers' international coalition on Saturday, coming from behind in the first game to win, 12-9, and then jumping out ahead in the second game and never looking back, winning 8-0.
In Game 1, the Pitchers had a big fourth and fifth innings, with Matt leading off both innings with a solid hit. He - along with Felix and Eric - posted three hits in the early game. Eric also drove in four runs and Damian went a perfect 4-for-4.
The story of Game 2 was a shutout pitched by Damian in his Pitchers pitching debut, and more rock-solid defense from Felix and Alex in the infield. Greg went 3-for-3 in the game, and he, Rachel and Felix all had big two-out hits to drive in a pair of runs.
The Pitchers also capitalized on a key injury to the Avengers squad, as a bad back led one of their players to be replaced by Frenchie (possibly Russkie, possibly Czechie), apparently making his debut in the American sport at any level. He performed valiantly, entering midway through Game 1, but in the end, wound up in the vicinity of too many fence-scrappers of the Pitchers for the Avengers to ever have a chance.
