Guess who’s back?! Back again! What happens when the Bats return and this guy is an official Co-Captain again?! You get the return of The Batcave Chronicles! Get ready for some bat-tastic humor, some sports talk, and a side of justice! #letsgo #batsignalsup

Game 1: The Batmen vs The Colt .45’s 

 

The Bats came out dawning our new batsuits for Game 1 and I have to say, they look pretty heroic. Thanks again to Kobz for all the hard work. The Colt .45’s came out guns blazin’, but thankfully these batsuits are bulletproof! The speediest bats had plenty of room to dodge and sneak attack the villains with Erik Clausen, Dylan Buhrow, and Dalton Fallaw leading the charge. The POW! to their Ka! came with the heavy hitting punches of Nick Barr, Ariel Rodriguez, Baby J, Freddy Barraez, and Doug Kramer. The final swift kick of justice comes from Jim Finley, Omar Gonzalez, Steve Enda, and Daniel Buhrow. 

Colts took an early 2-0 lead, but Ariel came back with a 2RBI single to bring in Dylan and Dalton in the bottom of the 1st. Ariel would come back in the 3rd with a 2RBI homerun to retake the lead. Dalton would later seal the deal with a 3RBI homerun in the bottom of the 5th. The Bats just had to hold off the firepower of the Colts in the 6th to get the swift victory and serve up some justice. 

Final Score: Bats 9 - Colt .45’s 6

Game 2: The Batmen vs The Red Sox of Boston

 

This was a close one for the Bat team and good almost did not prevail. Thankfully this team never gave up and trusted each other to get the job done and prevent the citizens of Shalom from witnessing a disaster. The Red Sox Gang put up 3 early, but the Bats came right back with 5 of our own. The chess match continued as the cold front came through and winds made the pitching staff adjust their approach. Dalton hit his second HR of the day in the bottom of the 5th that I am pretty sure has still not landed as I am writing this article. That...or the Joker took it! The Red Sox Gang came back to take a 15-13 lead in the top of the 6th. Daniel Buhrow lead off for the Bats in the bottom of the 6th and BOOMed! his first hit back up the middle. Clausen would precede to walk and Dylan Buhrow would load up the bases with a single. Dalton coming up and ropes a double to bring in Daniel and Erik with Dylan now on third. Ariel hits, Dylan comes home, throw home looks great but just comes off the hand of the catcher for the walk off run!! 

Final Score: Bats 16 - Red Sox 15

Side Question: How many shirts do you think Kiminski has under his Red Sox jersey to make sure that it does not touch his skin. 

Words from Commissioner Lawrence about the Batmen and their triumphs over evil: “I just flip the switch to the Bat Signal and trust that they will get the job done. They are no Lake Monsters...but they are just what this city needs!”
