Beaver Times 2009 Edition 12

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the 2nd week of Fall Beaverball. We were missing our manager this week because of some traveling he wanted to do. I dont know about you guys but I always schedule my trips Thursday thru Tuesday so I can make the Wednesday games. Apparently our manager wasnt able to do this. So who was going to step in and run this team????

To answer that question it was MoBilly. MoBilly wrote down the lineup and had nothing but smiles after he did so. To quote MoBilly-"This is the best lineup we had all year"! OK he may not have said that, but we all know he was thinking it. Was he right? Lets find out.

Our opponent was the Nationals and they were batting first. Not really sure I would want to play for a team with the name Nationals, we all know they are one of the worst teams in the MLB, but this team was different. They won the league last year and had a lot of tools, speed, solid defense, and of course uniforms that matched. They put up 6 runs in the first inning, of course the early defense of the Beavers OF was once again suspect.

So the lineup went like so for the Beav's...Belle, Sabo, Sonoma, Santo, Big John, MoBilly, Kid, no nickname Jake, Dupper, Prison Tits, Gee, and Jimmy D. The Beavers scored 2 in the first by putting together a few singles, slowly closing the lead that The Nationals had. The first inning proved to be the best by The Nationals with them not scoring more than 2 runs in any other inning except the 5th inning where they scored 4, and no runs in the 4th inning. Beavers plugged away with at least a run in every inning. So we enter the bottom of the 6th inning with time running out, this would be the Beavers last chance of the game. We were down 14-9 with MoBilly starting the inning off with a single, next up was Kid who hits a 2 run homer putting us within 3 runs of tying the game. Next up was no nickname Jake who doubles, then Dup follows with a double himself, Keith better known as Prison Tits with a single, Gee with a single to bring in the tying run of the inning, this was 6 straight hits for us. We havent seen many innings like this this year. So Jimmy D reached base on a fielders choice, Gee out at 2nd. Let me remind you, only 1 out in the last inning with the winning run, Jimmy D, on first. Now I cannot really remember how Jimmy D scored and the book isnt marked well enough to figure it out, but Jimmy D used his blazing speed to come around the bases and score the winning run..BEAVERS WIN 15-14 in 6 innings. Let me remind you, this was the returning champion team.
Player of the game going to Gee, with steller defense at first and a 3 for 3 game with 3 RBIs.

Game 2: Started with the same lineup. This time we do not score any in the first 2 innings and The Nationals score 1 in the first and 2 in the 2nd. They are up 3-0 in the top of the 3 inning. Here come the Beavers!!! Prison tits starts us off with a double, Gee follows him with a single, Jimmy D follows with a K, but wait Belle continues the inning with a single, then Sabo with a Double, Sonoma with a single, Santo with an out. 2 outs and 1 runner on, Big John up and hits a smashing HR. MoBilly and Kid follow with 2 singles, could a 2 out rally be started? Unfortunately not, next batter no nickname Jake makes the 3rd out. Inning over, 11 batters up, 6 runs scored. Beavers leading 6-5 at the end of the 3rd inning. Beavers Defense steps up, we havent said that much this year, and only allows 2 more runs in the game while scoring 8 more runs, winning 14-7. Player of the game going to Big John with 2 big homeruns, 4 RBI's, 2 runs and 1 BIG FAT K (A huge swing and a miss after hitting 2 dingers).

Beavers play 2 early games on Sept 2nd at Fenton. Lets go take 2 more wins this week! MoBilly you get to set the lineup again after getting 2 wins last week.

Cya!
