Game Recap:
The Dreadsox continued their solid playing through the second game of their
double header vs Overlake Hospital, winning 25-14. Overlake had runners on
first and second with one out in the first inning, but the Dreads were able
to get the last two outs without a run scoring. The Dreads then got 3 runs
during their turn at bat, off of a 2-out home run by CF Jay “J-Bang”
Matsudaira. The Dreadsox again held Overlake scoreless in the top of the 2nd
inning, as the third out came with the bases loaded. Overlake’s defense
improved during the second game, as they fielded infield grounders much more
effeciently, and held the Dreadsox to one run in the bottom of the 2nd. Then
Overlake’s bats began to improve, as they got seven hits and 6 runs in
the top of the third for a 6-4 lead. The Dreadsox quickly regained the lead,
collecting a dazzling 10 base hits and a couple of walks to score 9 runs.
Again, the Dreads defense held fast, allowing only one run to score, and
retiring the side with runners on first and second. It turned out that the hot
3rd inning was just a warm-up for the Dreadsox, though. In the 4th inning, the
Dreads salted the field with 12 base hits, a walk, and a homerun. All but one
of the 13 Dreadsox players made it on base in the inning with either a hit or
a walk, as they piled up 12 more runs. Again, Overlake had a respectable last
at-bat, collecting 7 runs in the top of the 5th inning, but it wasn’t
enough to avoid the enforcement of the 10-run mercy rule. Again, every
Dreadsox player crossed home plate at least one time in the game.
Defensive Play of the Game:
Playing in his first games of the season, due to being a slave of the vehicular
electronics industry, infielder Chris “Bootch” Burch played a solid
defensive game... with NO errors! During his inning at shortstop, he made a
nice snag of a line drive to his right, and made another nice play on a ground
ball that he flipped to 2B “Shaggy” Sheri Smith for the force on the
runner coming from first.
Offensive Play of the Game:
The entire Dreadsox team batted extremely well. They collected base hit after
base hit, and barely used their power game. Of their 26 hits, only 3 went for
extra bases — a double by RF Philip “Phlipper” Hallstrom, and
two 3 RBI home runs by Jay “J-Bang” Matsudaira. The majority of the
rest of the hits were nice, solid base hits into the gaps.
Laugh of the Game:
Although he played extremely well in his first games of the season (not only
defensively, but also going 6-for-6 on the day), infielder Chris “Bootch”
Burch also had an amusing lapse of concentration. With the bases loaded and
nobody out in Overlake’s third inning, a shot was hit to the right-center
gap. CF Jay “J-Bang” Matsudaira fielded the ball on a hop and a roll,
and fired to shortstop Kurt “Lil’ Hurt” Hayashida. With the
runner trying to go from first to third, the Lil’ Hurt turned to relay to
Bootch at third base. Problem was, Bootch was standing about 10 feet off the bag,
watching as the rather slow runner made her way safely to the bag. J-Bang (ever
the smart-ass), noticing that Bootch had a great view of the play, yelled from
the outfield, “Hey Bootch... how much did you pay for that seat?!”
