Game time was 1pm. Today's temperature? Try 90 degrees. Any trees to hide under? Negative.
Thankfully, the jerseys arrived just in time for this hot, summer day. The jersey is a moisture-wicking material, with the Predators logo on front, McNulty's Tea & Coffee on the left sleeve, and the brand (Easton) logo on the right.
Being 3-1, the team wanted to keep a strong push to remain at the top of the standings. Ben was almost flawless. Pitching all seven innings, and giving up only one run. There wasn't anything wrong with the Darkside Dragons - as they had runners in scoring position multiple times. Unfortunately, the Predators' defense has been their strength. In six games, the team gave up only sixteen runs, which is the least among the entire league. The big stars on defense goes to Matt (SS) and Brian (RCF). Bill (1B) as usual, is the infields' safety net on any bad throws. Offensively? Matt crushed a solo blast in the forth. Danny, brought one home in the fifth. George picked up two in the sixth. And, Matt slugged a 2-RBI single in the seventh for a 7-1 win.
Game 2 sang the same song. With Dennis on the mound, he kept pace with Ben in giving up only one run. The team put together five runs in the second, and that's all it took to win the game. Hitters 5 through 10 provided much of the offense. Jason would lead off with a single. Matt added a RBI-triple to his offensive stats. Jon doubled Matt home. George would single. Ben sac-flied. Dennis singles Jon home. And CLee singled home George. 5 runs on 6 hits. Defensively - Jason picked up his part on defense at third base, and Danny (LF) took control in the outfield. Final score: 5-1 win.
