The Machine came screeching to a halt last night at the Navy base losing their first game of the season to the Fighting Fabers of Finkel 7-18.The series between the two teams is now even at 1-1. (Photo compliments of JET)
Re-Cap:
The game was a text-book pitcher’s duel until the 4th inning as McNair scored once in the first inning on an RBI-single by Capers and F-Cubed finally scored one to tie the game in the 3rd inning. McNair scored two-runs in the 4th inning on an RBI-single by “Baby-Face” Bolden and an RBI-single (reached 2nd base on an error) by JET. F-Cubed would answer with 5-runs in the bottom of the 4th as Ryan, Brian, Ed, & Trip (Oh My!) rounded the bases.
In the 5th inning, the Machine had 3-up, 3-down as Finkel pulled away scoring 7-runs in the bottom of the inning. McNair would add 2 more runs in the top of the 6th as Jay-Bird hit a two-RBI, double. Things looked promising as Bolden reached first but JET would ground out to end the inning. Finkel added 5 more runs in the bottom of the 6th. Turner hit his second-single of the night in the top of the 7th; Cody hit his first RBI-Triple (scored as a single) of the Season bringing home the Afterburner and Rosie would repay the favor knocking in Cody from third.
Dug-Out:
“It was definitely a humbling experience, we made small mistakes that cost us big tonight” said Machine’s Coach Trabert. He continued, “I know the Finklers were out for blood, but we still just did not hit the ball.” When asked about Big Daddy Joel not being in the line-up, Trabert responded, “Joel will be on the D. L. for a while, I will let him decide when he wants to come back. He was missed in the line-up tonight, but the fact remains this is a team effort, it’s not just one person out there (jokingly) although, I am sure Jay-Bird would beg to differ-he (Jay-Bird) was definitely our work horse tonight." The Machine’s GM and Owner, Tom McTighbrenner commented simply (about the game) to the AP, “This was an opportunity for improvement”. No doubt, shake it off McNair!
Next Game:
The Machine will return to the Navy Base next Tuesday (June 19th) to face Pierce, Hearns.

My arm feels like I pitched 9 innings monday night. I was popping ibuprofen all day yesterday, and today the soreness is really setting in. Have you ever seen so many balls hit to one person in a game, or am I exaggerating?
