Score

The Skinny

@ Hoy's Boys

Win

19-6

Sticks were en fuego for game one. Looked like it was going to be a good day...Score was 19-1 going into the bototm of the 5th... Hoys' Boys put some runs on the board to give the mercy a scare, but twas not to be.

@ Team Bullet

Loss

10-2

Game was tight until the 6th inning. Bullet put 6 runs on the board, to take the big 9 run lead. MC sticks just went to sleep.

vs. Road Kill

Win

14-13

These guys were endloaded in the 'mouths' dept. The game was tight throughout. Looked like MC was gonna win it on time, when the team kept putting clutch hits together in the bottom of the 6th... with a minute left, and the Cruisers up by three the 7th started. A HORRENDOUS call by the ump almost came back to haunt us. It allowed Road Kill to tie the game up. Romero and Bickley got clutch two out hits to put the winning run on second. Dana Oviatt came up wit his first hit of the ball game to drive the winning run in.

@ Team Malba

Loss

12-8

A game the cruisers seemingly had in control fell out of their geasp in the bottom of the 5th. Up 8-3, madden gave up nine runs, as Malba stormed back. For some reason our bats were not to be on this day.
