Team
H: AKA: Mud Flap Girls. They hit a lot to the right side - younger CSC looking guy
with black shirt (deep), ragged older bearded guy and their SS when he
wanted to. Bigger gray shirt guy pull hitter and red stripe pants
guy hits to 3B every time.
American Family Insurance: This was the best team we played so far. They had multiple guys who could hit HRs to the left side. They all batted together early in the lineup: red shirt LF captain, red hair SS, cargo shorts, goatee 3B. They had 1 lefty and their RF who wore jeans was an automatic out. 1B green shorts is a pull hitter every time. They played a good infield but the outfield had a few costly past balls and misjudged balls. They through the ball around a little too. None of them really hustle around the bases. |
W
18-6 (mercy). This game was close until our breakout 7th inning and
we scored the first 7 batters. We had a couple nice double plays and
overall, we hit great. W 17-14. This was a close game from the start. We were behind 3-6 after 3 innings. No team scored more than 5 runs in an inning and we did it in the top of the 9th. Bob hit one out and Bob, Klubber and Kevin all scored 4 times each (Bob, Klubber, Kevin). We turned at least 3 double plays and one of them was on in infield fly call. Great defense and offense. |

H: Not a lot of power on this team. Bigger 1B hit to the
warning track in left (pull hitter). RF refused to through the ball
to anyone but 2B. American Family Insurance: Still stacked their lineup and got a 3-run homer out of it. Still have the jeans guy in RF. |
W
19-5 (mercy). They actually jumped out to a 5-3 lead after 2
innings. We were distracted by the twins game in our dugout and we
helped them out with a couple misses in the field. We played great
defense after that, turned a few double plays and held them scoreless the
rest of the game. W 13-4. They like to argue calls with the ump. The close call with Joe at 1st early in the game resulted in 4 additional runs in the 1st inning. They never forgot about it. |

Bank: They had 2 lefties and only 1 of their guys could hit it
deep. Everything else was short or to the infield. FSC: They had 2 HR hitters (hulk shirt guy and orange striped pants guy). A couple of the older guys RF and 1B hit weak pops to shallow left field. They threw the ball around a lot in the field. |
W
29-2 (mercy). We hit like crazy in this game and batted around the
order three times. We moved to a rover at the end and it worked
well.
W 22-7 (mercy). They had a grand slam HR in the 1st inning, but after that it was all Clippers. We were told we were the "right most hitting team" the first baseman had ever seen. |
