GAME SUMMARY: Rogues back in the win column!

ROGUES 8
Mr. Electric 7

Well, we won another nail-biter against Mr Electric Sunday night. This time it was us blowing a big lead. Luckily, we got it back.

Kevin Wilson started on the mound and pitched VERY well, giving up one run in the first and no more til the 5th. We on the other hand scored 6 runs through 5 innings, including two 2-run homers from Pascal Lalonde and Brad Dishaw. But in the bottom of the sixth, the wheels started falling off.

Kevin got 1 out, but gave up 4 solid hits, and we switched him for Chuck Musicka. Chucky fared no better allowing a few more hits before getting out of the inning. All-in-all, the Electric squad put up 6 runs to take the lead 7-6 after 6 innings.

Top of seven, with one out, I'm up to the plate. I haven't gotten a hit all year (except for in the game that didn't count) and I've struck out twice in the game so far, so the catcher tells the outfielders to play in a bit. F#*K YOU, lol, I smacked a double to right center, over the fielder's head. After the next batter strikes out, I advance to 3rd on a pass ball. 60-Year old Jim Blakely's at the plate with 2 out and 2 strikes on him. He fouls off a few pitches before lining a shot to left field, scoring me to tie the game! Jim advances on another pass ball and eventually scores on an over-throw, giving us the lead. Jim pitches the 7th and gets 3 of 4 batters out for the HUGE save, and another Rogues win.


Also, it was effing FREEZING! Not good ball weather, but at least the bats were on fire. It wasn't looking good for a while there as the sky threatened to open up, and reports of hail in the neighbourhood made things iffy. (This pic is me en-route to the diamond at about 4:20. I was pessimistic, but I was wrong) Luckily, all was dry at the Queensway diamond, and we got our game in. Next up, the undefeated Guzzlers on Thursday.
