We definitely need to do some recon…
Sure the Solicitors are a tough team (undefeated this year) but it sometimes helps to know what you are up against. For instance, had we known that “Amanda” was former College of Charleston Softball standout at third-base and the outfield, Amanda Cone, 2001 Southern-Conference Freshman of the Year, 3-Time So-Con Player of the Week (2004), member of the SoCon Championship squad as a junior and the host of accolades her senior year: (the following stats are National Division 1 rankings for 2004) 10th in batting averages-hitting .450, 6th in RBIs per game w/ 1.09 PG, 23rd in Home-Runs-per-game, 6th in Runs per Game with 59 runs in 56 games, 9th in Slugging Percentage, w/ .825 SLG%, 19 Doubles for the season put her 20th on the list.
And now, Ms. Cone can add an in-the-park-home-run (over B-Rad's head and to the fence), while going 4 for 5 vs. the Machine to her stellar resume. Sorry guys, I should have passed it around that she was firing missiles before the game, but then again, whenever someone is wearing the "high-end" knee brace, we should know they can probably play.
The Law-Dogs ran up the score on the Machine quite aggressively tonight, more than likely a response to the embarrassing smack-down we gave them at our last meeting. But give us credit, we kept with it, despite missing a few of our usual players and the Law-Dogs building a "snow-man" in the first and second innings, the Machine put 10-runs on the board before the end of the game. I was especially impressed with the 3-runs scored in the bottom of the 7th inning-great job guys! And the play of the game goes to the assist by Blackie to Christina as she made the play at the plate! Sounds like POTW performance to me...
From the Dug-Out:
JET went 4-4, going back to his "Vegas" style of play: hit a single and then score from first at each at bat-putting 4-runs on the board. Craig "Blackie" Blackmon went 4 for 4 hitting an excellent ball into right-field on a pitch that was "just a bit outside from B-Rad" at his last at bat. Blackie drove in T-Vegas four times (which allowed him to take a double every at bat) and Turner-Burner (who went 2 for 4) once for a total of 5-RBIs. B-Rad hit 4 for 4, with 3 singles and 1-double, scoring Blackie each time for 4-RBIs. B-Rad was having fun and tried a bit of the Vegas play Trabert is known for, but was caught at the plate. What can you say? The game wasn't on the line and sometimes you have to roll the dice. Michael "The Hammer" Scarafile went 3 for 4 despite having a rough start as the lead-off batter. "Little Mike" (aka: Chris) hit some beauties up the middle, but their second-baseman, Kermit-T-Frog was hopping on his balls all night. (Wait, that didn't sound apropos). Nicole put the ball in play, going 2 for 3, but was snagged each time before rounding second base. Momma-Jo made some adjustments to her hitting technique before the game and had some good hits, allowing her to out-hustle the Law-Dog's third-baseman as he got "Tripped" up from her speed. Law-Clerk Jeff is swinging the bat a lot better, and went 2 for 4 for the evening. And finally, our POTW, CID, who made one heck of a play at the plate and was smashing the ball. Unfortunately, 3rd base-Trip had her number all night and made some great plays to keep her from reaching.
