The Sons of Sully played 2 games this week. The first one against the hated Diamonds. Prime Time was at the game this time, but the Diaper Dandy, Murph, must have had a tourney game and failed to make the lineup.Bags took the mound for the 24th time in a row, setting a modern day Medford Softball record. The focus of the game was on the Big Kitty and his hit streak. He came into the game with 9 straight hits and extended it to 13! The Big Kitty hasn't got attention he has deserved (according to him). The kid has been the gasoline that fuels the car, the kindling that starts the fire, and he is a bad bad man this year. A little different than his year in Babe Ruth when he went 1-1 then 0-45, oh wait I forgot the Grand Slam, oh wait, that was a rainout and didn't count...at any rate, the kid is money, hitch on to his trailer, enjoy the ride.
Couple highlights from the game
-Bags walking the first batter but settling down to throw strikes all night
-The human Kiwi leading off the game and looking like he was scalped by Geronimo, also with an amazing catch in the 5th inning to keep the game out of reach
-MBags going 4-4 with the once shunned Miken Vicious
-The kid registering an over the head triple
-The King of Melrose going 0-4 with 4 groundouts to the SS
-TC roping one into Right Center and being called out for stepping on the plate
Final Score 16-8
The Boys of Summer had a date with the Brew Crew last night. We were hoping for a win, they were just hoping that weren't going to get pulled over for a DUI before the game (quote un quote). The Bad boys of the league came in with an 6-10 record and were looking to get there best win of the season against the surging Ringers. The kid took the hill for the first time since 1987 and looked to continue the Ringers march to the playoffs.
Some days you have it, and some days you dont. Some days you wake up on the right side of the bed, and some days its the wrong side (or is it left?) at any rate, it was one of those games for the typically sure handed Mike Bagshaw. Yup, the star of Hot Damn had a day to forget. Paid off by the Brew Crew earlier in the night, he made some very uncharacteristic errors which makes us think that there maybe moles hidden within the Ringers...Cutrell duffing some in right? Noyes throwing meatballs all game?? Sully going 0-4 saying he wasn't "feeling it" Who is the rat???? You had to feel for the kid though, all signs point to an epic comeback next week for him...We could/should have beat them 36-3 like the first game featuring the Hibernians and the Master Batters. We did the ol position switcherroo a tad too early and paid for it.
We all hit pretty well, DSull had a great game as did Regular Sully, both had a home run and a triple. TC had some good pokes to the outfield, Bags stayed hot showing warning track power all night, McGrath getting a nice late insurance HR, Connors helping out the bottom of the order, and the Big Kitty, without the streak but continuing to rake.
Highlight of the night had to be the play of 2B Bags and 1B Crupi. The Human Kiwi was holding down first base and yelled Bagshaw to "flip it!!!!!!!!". Giving Bags a 2 inch square to toss it in, Bags couldn't quite fit it in there and thus ruined the play all by himself, shame on you Bags for not fitting it in Crupi's duck glove...Ringers look to extend this weeks winning streak next week with both games at 7:30
Get Some
