Game 5 Win 21-14 vs Diamonds aka "you take your pitches, we will take our HR trots"
Finally, we got to play some competition. Built up as the '27 Yankees, these guys for the most party were a bunch of pinstripe wearing pricks. Bottom of the first, Sam Smith, "hey, why don't you shut the hell up!" (ding...and we're off).
Bats haven't quit all year so let's ride them while they are hot. McGrath actually got out but kept peppering RF with a dinger. D Sull took advantage of a short porch and rounded the bases, pretty sure he was home by the time the ball reached the cut off man. Bags a very solid 4 for 4, showing sings of his Lawrence Academy days when he was named MVP in 1995. MBags hit a bomb and after dusting off some early defensive troubles made a huge play in the 5th for a force out. Sweet stayed hot at the top of the order and played a solid second base. Timmy, DSull, and McGrath covered a lot of ground in the OF and Timmy hit some ropes into center going 3for5. I snuck one past the shortstop, scored someone, then the "Phantom tag" play happened on DSull, catcher couldnt even believe he got the call. Sammy steady on the field and at the bat, shades of Kirk Gibson's limp around the bases. Noyes tomahawking his way on the base paths. A ton of GT's last night which is obviously the biggest acheivement last night.
The first baseman: "what is a GT?"
Sweet maybe? :"a gentleman's turn, just respecting the game the way it was meant to be played"
First Baseman "oh nice"
That umps strike zone was tighter than the bottom of Bagshaws sweatpants. Not my finest hour in the first inning but I finally got it. Helps that you can move off that designated rubber, makes it a bit easier. You guys brought me in to beat them and that's what we did. When you have to dig your tooth out of your mit from gnawing on it, you know it's a bit frustrating. Oh and Bags hit me off the head with the ball. They look for the walk at the detriment of their own hitting, we just walked up and pounded the ball, so awesome. They learned at the end of the game that they wouldnt get the baserunners they thought they would by doing that, and started feeling a little heat. They pressed and started popping most of the pitches up. A team effort last night, nice work.
5-0, who is better than us right now? Not many people, and definately not the manager of the Ashville Tourists

Game 4 Win 15-5 aka Bags' immediate backup of McGrath
Nice win by the Ringers, bats woke up by the 4th inning and we put them to bed. Noyes was crafty and kept them off balance with is occasional dirt ball. Sammy missed the cycle by a double, McGrath picks up where he left off with a HR. Connors a solid 3 for 3. Sam also was busy at first with some unassisted and some interesting flips to Noyes. Big game Thursday.
