Game Recap:
The Dreadsox took the second game of the double header by a score of 17-12. It was a great way
for the Dreads to finish the season, as they came back from an early 1-4 deficit. The Dreads got
an early run when Eric “Shady” Shadle blasted a homer to start off the game, but the
wireless ones got 4 runs in the bottom frame. Both teams held eachother scoreless in the second
inning, then matched eachother 1 run to 1 in the third inning. The Dreadsox closed the gap to
4-5 in the 4th inning when Shady drove in Sandy “Sander” Hallstrom with a triple, then
scored when “H.R. Puff’n” Steff Zabriskie gounded out to shortstop. After shutting
down the Wireless Towers in the bottom of the 4th, the Dread bats went back to work. The Dreads
were able to pile up 4 runs before recording their first out of the inning, using walks by Chris
“Butch” Burch and Deborah “Howler” Wolfe, a base hit by Sheri “Shaggy”
Smith, and RBI doubles by Philip “Phlipper” Hallstrom and Jay “J-Bang”
Matsudaira. They got 5 runs in the inning for a 9-5 lead. But the lead disappeared almost as
quickly, as Western Wireless got 4 runs with two outs in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game
at 9. Refusing to surrender, the Dreads used a 2-run homer by Curtis “Knocker” Nakamura
to help power them to 4 sixth inning runs. The Dreads defense did their job, holding the Tower
Shooters to 1 run in the 6th to maintain a 13-10 lead. The Dreadsox got 4 insurance runs in the
top of the 7th, then toppled the Tower Shotters’ comeback bid after two runs to hold on to
a 17-12 decision.
Defensive Play of the Game:
CF Jay “J-Bang” Matsudaira kept the Shooters from scoring in the bottom of the second
inning when he robbed the Tower Shooter named Kay (who is not as cheerful and friendly as the
Dreadsox’s Kay) of a base hit with a diving catch of her shallow line drive.
Offensive Play of the Game:
3B Curtis “Knocker” Nakamura’s 6th inning homer (his first of the season) drove in
what proved to be the winning runs.
Laugh of the Game:
None recorded.
