Game 2 Win 19-15 aka "The Ringers keep poundin that ball!"

The local 10 took the field last night against playoff foe the Hibernians, who are armed with a ton of beers and the most overrated SS/Clean-up hitter in the league, both teams looked to set the tone of the league early.

The Ringers threw the Ole Capshaw out on the mound. Coming off a game to forget at 2nd base, the kid looked to carve out a rotation spot for himself with Noyes possibly out for a while, possibly with Tommy John (or maybe tetanus).

The Ringers got on the board early with Cutrell getting on base, then stealing second? Hits up and down the order plated 6 early. Bags got in some trouble early throwing beach balls up there in the 1st, but like a true veteran he changed the height, and brought back his spin ball that helped keep their bats from doing a ton of damage.

TC woke his bat up with some big hits to plate 2 guys, Bags 4 for 4 and PRich 3 for 4 kept the bottom of the order hot, fueling all of these early season runs. Dirty Knee with a single and a double with 2RBI and 2Runs hitting his way out of the Ringers 2-Hole

We had 3 HR's last night....um 2 HR's...Trot Sullivan hit a bomb and decided to start his HR trot right out of the box, I yelled at him to get on his horse, apparently he thought that meant reaching in his pocket for some seeds and check his HP stock from his new Windows phone while rounding First. DSull stayed red hot at the bottom of the lineup driving in 4 runs and keeping his friendly smile when you meet him back at the dugout. The Big kid hit a towering bomb and with no outs and the ball in the infield blew the stop sign and barrled around third heading to the promised land. As I sang Chariots of Fire to myself I saw him get thrown out by a good 6-7 feet. Billy said it best "Paul, what the hell is Josh trying to score on that one for?" Don't worry though, that wasn't the only bonehead move, apparently I missed 2nd base going from first to third, I thought I hit it, I'm just playing last years 65 feet rules all year so expect a lot of that...

Things of note: Don't be surprised if you see the Hibernians with some Miken's next time, they were eyeing our bats, Pete has set up a stat page for us (http://www.freesoftballstats.com/teamstats.php?team=477), Cutrell lost most of his knee, Sweet K'd, TC and DSull playing a great OF, Sweet and Sully making good on a bunch of force plays, the kid with a nice scoop and tag at the plate.

Ringers move to 2-0 and have Balls Deep and the Diamond's next week!

Faces in the crowd: Mrs Mike Bagshaw and the future Mrs CapShaw all in attendance.

All hail Commissioner Bova
