Spring Season '06, Game 5: 5-6 (Loss)
The Entercommies experienced a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Wannabe Ballers on Sunday.
The Ballers scored an early four runs in the first inning, dampening spirits slightly. Matt refused to let this stand, however, and quickly brought Joe home with a homerun, bringing the score to 4-2. Matt also led the defensive charge all game, playing every position from third base to first, pegging bunters along the way.
Boone followed by dropping one clear into Greenwood, bring home himself as well as Alicia, and tying up the game.
The Ballers followed shortly with another run, bringing the score to 5-6.
Sadly was only to follow, however, as the game went into its final inning. With a close score, and Scott being the tying run on third, the stage was set for a close call at home. Joe launched the ball into orbit, sending Scott toward the plate. A quick pickup and throw to home led to a closely contested call, with the Entercommies arguing that Scott went untouched while the ump argued otherwise. This ended the game and broke the 'Commies hearts (along with Joe's sunglasses, which were hurled to the ground in anger over the call).
Standing as of 6/4: 2nd (out of 5)
