Commission makes things interesting...

After taking the first loss of the season in week 1, there really hasn't been another team that put us into the next gear. Don't get me wrong, the teams we've played between week 1 and this afternoon have been fun, but none could stay with us long enough to make things interesting. Is that ego? Is that cockiness? You bet. The Predators have the best defense that I have ever played with (23 runs allowed in 8 games). With a strong offense to go with it, I feel that this team can win the championship.

Today, the Commission put us into the next gear. In Game 1, we jumped on them early as we have done every previous weeks. Up 1-0, Commission posted one. In the second inning, we tack on two more, one more in the fourth, and one more in the fifth. But again, Commission decides to play a different game and gets two more in the fourth and fifth!  With a bunch of donuts in the sixth, the two teams entered the seventh tied. That's when the Predators kicked it up and shut things down. Sal, Al, and Danny singled. CLee sac-flied one home while another scored on a throwing error. Brian hits an RBI-single, and Bill singles himself. Jon and Matt sent two more home. George, Frankie and Dennis kept it churning. Sal would bat again and double in two. 9 Runs on 10 Hits all in one inning. Commission brought in two more runs before it all came to an end. Final Score: 14-7.

In Game 2, we stayed with the theme of shutting things down and literally mercied Commission with a 12-0 win. Dennis struck out four and made a handful of solid defensive stops from the mound.

Game 1 - Offensive Stars: Bottom of the lineup -- Frank, Dennis, Sal and Al combined for 9-16, 4 RBIs, 6 Runs.

Game 2 - Offensive Stars: Everyone

Ace of the weekend: Dennis - 6 IP, 0 Runs Allowed, 4 K's
