Pitchers Take Two By Any Means Necessary

Julian's Team put up little resistance on Saturday, losing Game 1 by forfeit, and falling 8-2 to the Pitchers in Game 2.

It took nearly as long for Julian's fragmented 8-person squad to gather at the Coleman Oval (48 minutes past scheduled game time), as it did for the Pitchers' bats to finally get hot and put Game 2 out of reach.

Scoring was few and too far between through the first three innings for the Pitchers. It wasn't until Lisa noted that the Pitchers were playing to the level of their woeful opponent that something finally clicked and the Pitchers pulled it together.

A two-walk, four-hit fourth inning featured a key two-run double from David and a two-out single from Alex that scored another pair of runs. Julian's turtleneck-bedecked pitcher couldn't hide from the Pitchers' offensive onslaught, with both Alex (two doubles, 3 RBIs) and Sam (2 runs, an RBI, 2 nice outfield catches) having three-hit days. Tara, as always, was a force to be reckoned with as well, going 2-for-3 at the plate.



Next game: A pivotal match up against the NY Dirt Dogs happens this Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Be on the watch for Damian's return to the Oval, after serving a one-game suspension for insubordination.
