Ryan Reese was quoted earlier this week saying “I predict we have a come from behind win in the first game and then blow them away in the 2nd. Also, i will be 3 for 4 and 5 for 5 as expected and they will all be singles.” Turns out Reese was pretty much spot on… except for that whole dyslexia thing. The Beers needed battle back from behind in the second game to secure the sweep.
Game 1 started off strong with the Beers scoring 4 runs in the first inning. After a solid inning of pitching from Peterson, the Beers’ bats stayed on fire. Scoring 8 more runs on 8 hits put the Beers up 12-0. The bats never did seem to cool down and the Beers scored 8 more wins to secure the 20-1 slaughter rule victory.
The Beers came out in game 2 still jacked up about their 20 run and 25 hit performance, but their bats on the other hand, seemed to have cooled off. The Beers found themselves quickly in a 9-2 hole. In the 4th inning, Roach led off with a double to start the inning Cusick, Daw and Budnyk each drove in a run to make the score 9-5. Going into the bottom of the 6th, the score was 9-6. Nick and Daw started the inning with a single and double, which brought Budnyk to the plate. Budnyk connected and drove the ball over the fence with a game tying 3 run homerun. This turned out to be the spark that the Beers needed and they scored 7 more runs in the inning. The Hosers scored 1 more in the bottom of the 6th but fell to the Beers 16-10.
You can catch the Beers next Wednesday at 8:30pm at Jenny Dean field.
