The Rangers split a pair as head towards the playoffs. In the opener, a very game BJ team took us to the wire as we held on to a 12-10 W. There was some good D and solid pitching. Some clutch hitting by Brums, Kyle, Cowboy, and Mike W helped us to the victory. The BJs' were quite generous in walking 7 batters which helped create the final margin. A good game and an important W but nothing toe write home about.
In the second tilt, the Gers got out to an early lead only to see some really shoddy defense and lack of key hits lead to their final undoing. Down 4 in bottom of last inning, they rallied but came up one short suffering a 11-10 loss at the hands of the Twinkies. The coach has noted that better defense and timely hitting will put us in good stead for the playoff push.
