Re-Cap of Game v. Buist Moore (Season 2)

Game Re-Cap:
After only putting one run on the board, we gave up three runs in the first. Things did not look all that great. Especially with Jet hitting a slow ground-out to first (more of Jet's humorous hits to come,) but moving Brett to third allowing Jay-Bird to bring him home. I just want the folks who could not come out and see the game, we played really well, and everyone played hard. Here's the re-cap: MC "Hammer" Scarafile went 3 for 4 at the plate, and did a great job playing first. Brett "Mr. Dependable" Bluestein went 4 for 4 at the plate, just abusing the ball all day long and did a great job playing defense in left and left-center. Jet went 2 for 4 at the plate, doubles on both hits, but did not have the wheels or it seems the landing gear to make it to third base before being thrown out. They made him eat crow on that play. Or was it clay on that play? You have to admit, they made a great play. Seriously, the ball went from short to first throwing out "Two Can", then to third throwing out Jet. They made a nice play. Jet held down the hot corner with no overthrows, no missed catches and the feeling he took care of things while CLW was out of town. Jay-Bird went 3 for 4 at the plate, and played a mean short-stop-throwing out ten batters. Yes, 10 batters is a confirmed and accurate number. The man is packing a missile for an arm; why would they test him? Corbett went 1 for 4 at the plate, scoring one run and getting one RBI. Also, she played some mean defense at 2nd Base. Going 3 for 3, Joel swung the lumber like he wears flannel and carries a chainsaw to work. Unfortunately, he was left on 3rd twice and 2nd once. As usual, Joel did a great job mixing things up in the outfield, and put some peaches across home plate for us to smack. Christina/Nichole had a little trouble at the plate. Unfortunately, I am not sure which inning the substitution took place. But I do have some defensive notes to share. Christina is playing the catcher position, a ball is popped-up right in front of her, she yells, "I got it, I got it"; but her legs would not move forward just up and down. Runner safe, ball rolling away and Christina got a talking to from Hammer. (Christina, we are laughing with you, not at you.) Her roommate, Nichole, made up for it by snagging one of Buist, Moore's pop-ups when she took over the position. Great job ladies! MAS had a little trouble at the plate, but did a great job in the outfield. For those who do not know, MAS has a cannon hid up his sleeves. Oh yes, I almost forgot; His hair was perfect! He asked me to mention it. Rhonda played quite well. She needs to work on her swing a little, but she is coming in late and does not have the practice of a season behind her. Also, she is preventing a forfeit by playing, so, I'll forget my commentary on Tap-Water. Tom Mc Tighe just keeps getting better and better. We definitely have a contender for most improved. I like Brad right behind him in the line-up, they seemed to hit as one the other night. Tom went one for three at the plate, due to a couple of great plays by their short-stop. Tom, I have to tell you. I get excited when you get up to the plate-you just keep surprising me each week. Brad Hiers stopped by to lend us some bats and knock one out of the park for us. You might remember him from last year, big guy that always seemed to hit shorter than what you would expect. Well, last week, I talked him down at the plate and his next swing knocked one out of the park. Mark that as the 2nd over-the-fence homerun for Mc Nair.
Play of the game that you just could not help but laugh: As mentioned, Christina put smiles on all of our faces. But, Jet's foul ball just made me smile. His 2nd at bat in the 3rd inning was a deep hit ball that got stuck under the fence and was ruled a ground-rule double. Knowing this, the outfield stood at the fence for his next at bat. (Choke! Choke!) After getting a beautiful pitch, Jet fouled one back right into the glove of one of the Kristens. All we could do was shake our heads, the outfield thought it was going deep, but their catcher knew better.
Next Game:
The aforementioned next game is Wednesday night against Moore and Van Allen at the Park Shore Field. Please try to be there at six to warm-up. I'll be putting the roster together tomorrow, so please respond (unless you already have) either yea or nay on whether you can play.
Great Job Everyone!!!
Go Mighty McNair!
