Balls of Fury cruises to 9th straight victory
Balls of Fury took the field Wendesday night for the fifth game of the Summer I season and cruised to a 15-4 victory. In the first inning we gave up one run after yours truly flubbed a call on a simple pop fly (a theme for the night) but answered back in the bottom of the inning with six runs to take a lead we would never give up. In the second the defense bailed me out again after another flubbed pop up call as we held our opponents scoreless and then scored a couple of runs to make the score 8-1.
The third inning saw the defense shine some more as Jason started catching everything hit close to him resulting in another scoreless inning. In the bttom half of the inning we plated 3 more runs to extend the lead to ten. In the fourth inning the defense came through for one more scoreless inning and the bats kept ringing out hits as we scored 3 more runs to make the score 14-1.
In the fifth our opponents found their stroke with a double and a single followed by a home run to score 3 runs to cut the lead the 10 before recording three straight outs to end the inning. We scored one more run in the bottom of the fifth to make the score 15-4. Another scorless inning in the sixth by our defense, when no one would let me call a popup in the infield any more, sealed the game for Balls of Fury. The win marks the ninth straight going back to last season and makes the record 5-0 for the Summer I season.
