Welcome to Season 4. Team Sandbar got off to a slow start this season, going 0-2 before going on their current win streak of 4, to put them in 2nd place with a record of 4-2. Below, you will find some recaps of the games:
Game 1 vs Channel 1
The 8 AM doldrums strike as Sandbar is groggy and only score 9 over 7 innings, losing 12-9. Mike Henson was the hitting star with 2 homeruns and 5 rbi's. Any chance of a 3rd homerun was taken away, when the opposing pitcher, "Chicken" Goodwin chose to unintentionally intentionally walk Mike H. Also, Scotty came through with 3 hits and Peyton chipped in 3 rbi's.
Game 2 vs. Bulldog Kennel Club
Sandbar came up short again, losing by 2 runs in a close contest with the Kennel Club. After starting out with 4 runs in the 1st, Sandbar only scored 1 run until the 5th inning when they broke through with 5 to get within 1 run. However, Kennel Club added 2 more runs and Sandbar could only muster up 1 run over the last 2 innings to fall short. Hitting stars included Scotty Lee, who had 2 homeruns and 4 rbi's, Henson with 2 hits, including a HR.
Game 3 vs Channel 1
Sandbar is off the schnide, avenging their 1st loss of the season with a win over Channel 1. Sandbar was chasing most of the game until a 7 run 5th inning put them over the top. Mike S hit a go ahead Grand Slam to put Sandbar ahead to stay. Later, in the same inning, improbably, Patterson and Lolo hit back to back inside the park homeruns. Hitting star was Mike Sylwestrzak going 3 for 3 with the aforementioned grand slam.
Game 4 versus Kennel Club.
Sandbar comes through with a 10 run 7th inning to snatch away the victory from Kennel Club. Chasing 4 in the Top of the 7th, Sandbar put the 10 spot up with 12 hits in the inning. The hitting stars included Rafael Salcido with 4 hits, Joey B with 4 hits, Mike S with 3 hits and 4 rbi's and Jeff Farmer with 3 hits as well.
Game 5 vs. Brew Crew
In the 2nd game of the double header, Sandbar picked up right where it left off with a blazing 1st inning where they scored 9 runs to put this game to bed early. Mike S hit a 3 run homerun in the 1st to put Sandbar up 4-0. Plenty of hitting stars in this game including Craig Massey, who went 4-4 and just a homerun short of the cycle. Patterson had 3 hits and 3 rbi's.
Game 6 Vs. Red Birds.
Sandbar continued their winning ways and somehow, managed to beat their 8AM nemesis, the wily, crafty Willy, 10-3. Manny Hernandez was the early bird as he started the game off with a homerun to deep center. Later, in the 3rd inning, he hit another long drive to center for his 2nd homerun of the game. Manny was the hitting star of the game as well as Ron S who went 3-3.
Next week's game is versus the defending champions, the Bulldogs at 11. See you there.
