Game 1
First game against the Dukes. AJ wanted the start against his old teammates and he did pretty good. He got knocked around a bit but settled in. At least we didn’t have to wait 2 weeks to play this game and we hit the ball a little bit. We finally scored a run with Peaches breaking the slump and getting the RBI. We popped the ball up quite a bit this game but at least we got more than one hit. We lost 7-1 to a hard hitting Dukes team.
Game 2
We made the switch to the heavy baby blue jerseys and put Teddy on the bump. Things started to look back to normal as we started to play some D and knocked the ball around. Teddy pitched well and we finally got a W on the board winning 7-6. Peaches led the offence with a HR shy the cycle. Bad news is that most of us are showing our age and are now hurt and falling apart. Also, we need serious baserunning lessons. We had 2 guys picked off at second and another picked off jumping the gun trying to steal second. Kuzek would have absolutely lost it if he was there.
We are in mid-June and only 10 guys are showing up for games. Can’t wait until August. Arne may be getting a call soon…
