After blowing a late six-run lead and then going on to lose in extra innings in our first game of the season, we were looking to play more of a complete game in week two.

I'd say that we made quite a statement in the top half of the first inning when we put up eleven runs...ELEVEN!  I know we have had games in the past where we were down by a lot of runs early, but we were never down by eleven before we even got to bat.  It was quite the offensive display.

One of the members of the other team was overheard saying, "Those guys should be in a higher league...what are they doing in this league?"
Wha?
Ummm...we LOST last week.
I think they should be telling themselves that they need to be in a lower league.

We went on to win 17-11...but the other team put up quite a few runs in the last couple innings...again.  So I guess the only thing we can try to work on for next game is closing the door late in the game.  In the first week we allowed 8 runs in the last two innings and we allowed 8 runs in the last two innings in the second game as well.

This was Jeff's season debut on the mound, and he did a fine job.

This was also the debut of the Metro East Dirtbag team shirts and hats...they turned out great (grey shirts with green print and green hats with a black and white 'D' on the front and everyone's number on the back)...we are now 1-0 while wearing our team uniforms.  Best uniforms in the league...no doubt.

Next week's game is at 7:30 vs. Ninian's Brew Crew.
