Bad News Beers

The Beers pulled into Barcroft Park tonight with only one thing on their minds. Winning the Fall 2008 championship.  They knew winning was not going to be an easy task as they were playing the 2nd place Hard Times Cafe.  Hard Timess definitely came out to play as they scored 2 quick runs in the top of the first inning.  In the Beers first at bat, catcher Jon Rojas got on base and came in on Stemp’s 9th homerun of the season.  After scoring 5 in the bottom of the first, the Beers held Hard Times scoreless for 3 straight innings.  The Beers kept piling the runs on and scored 4 more in the bottom of the 5th. Final score: 10-4. The Beers were one win away from the championship. Coach Phil Crosby could feel it and pumped up the guys in the dugout before the next game.

The Beers could taste it. Victory was only 55 minutes away. Game 2 started out with both the Beers and Hard Times going scoreless in the 1st inning. The middle of the Beers’ lineup came up big in game 2, providing 9 of the Beers’ 15 runs. Most notably was RF Ryan Reese’s 2 run inside the park homerun.  After one sloppy inning of play, where the Beers let up 6 runs, they went on to play solid defense and came away with the win. 

Final score: 15-9. Beers are officially the Fall 2008 Wednesday league champions.

Great games and GREAT EFFING SEASON!!!!!!!
