This week's matchup vs Wham Bam Thank You Clam was a game I had been looking forward to all season. We love playing against Clam, especially when we beat them. It had been a while. Alan was missing from the game but their two headed pitching monster of Rich & Hank were both there. As long as Jesse made it to our game, I had planned to let him roll the entire thing. Wham Bam was undefeated this season. Heck, they were undefeated last season. The only game they lost was the Spring championships.
Craig somehow won the rock paper scissors. We held serve and kept them scoreless in the first. Jimmy lead off and got on base. Mike bunted and got thrown out at first. Jimmy got to third and the defense attempted to make a play. The ball scattered into left field and he got up and got home. 1-0.
The score stayed 1-0 until the top of the 4th. With 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd Wham Bam popped up to Jesse at the mound and he reacted and tried to get the runner at first out before she could get back to the base. The ball got her square in the back and it was close, but she had already gotten back. The runner on third scored as a result. It was a close play and he knew the run was on him. 1-1.
In the bottom of the 4th Alex lead off and got on base. Jimmy and Mike followed and got on base. Bases loaded. No outs. Steve showed that he was human by ripping the ball to the monster and getting out. A couple feet to the left or right and that would have been two runs! The impressive part of the play was Alex not leaving third and getting tagged out as a result of the play. Alex received 2 box points on the spot for not leaving the base and not getting out. Craig knocked in Alex on the next play and we were up 2-1.
Jesse and the defense played two more great innings and we ended up winning 2-1. Jimmy played the full game at catcher as well. They both could have used a break during that game but sometimes you gotta just ride your horses to water instead of bringing water to your horses.
We hung for quite a bit after the game and our team made appearances at both bars. I've been able to crutch walk as of this week which has been interesting and I'll be writing a post about that soon, (I'm trying to play catch up here!). All in all, I put 3.5 miles on the fitbit thursday. It was a good day! And we Wham Bam'd Them Right In The Box.
