Game 1: Batmen vs Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers believed the Batmen were working outside the law and did not appreciate their particular brand of justice. They were gonna stop at nothing to send the people of Shalom City a message that vigilantism would not be tolerated in these here parts. Fortunately, the Batmen came prepared with an arsenal of weapons in their Bat Utility Belts and prove that we are all fighting on the same side. The Batmen kicked things off with an early 5 runs from the first 9 batters. The Rangers were hot on their trail though and came right back with a streak of their own. Another 6 runs came in from the Batmen in the top of the 2nd. Omar Gonzalez and Dylan Buhrow with back to back doubles, followed by a single, double and triple from David Buhrow, Dalton Fallaw, and Nick Barr respectively. Next few innings would remain quiet, with the Batmen maintaining an 11-7 lead on the Rangers going into the 6th. Not leaving it up to chance, and with Doug Kramer and Steve Enda on base, Daniel Buhrow comes up and POWs the snot out of the ball clear over the RCFielder for a 2RBI triple. Dylan Buhrow would drive in the final run to seal the deal and provide a 14-7 victory over the Rangers. Justice once again prevailed in Shalom City! 

Final Score: Bats 14 - Rangers 7

Game 2: Batmen vs the Grasshoppers

We may have bats on our suits...but we definitely do not like insects...or Field 4 for that matter! There is a reason that field was picked to be the last number. Yeah...you heard us Field 4! Better start playing nice or Dylan Buhrow has something in his Bat Belt for ya! Anywho...I believe our defense looked great today and seems to be really geling now. We were just out hit and Scott Greenberg pitched a gem (which seems to be his thing against the Buhrow brothers). Nick is gonna hit the Peloton hard these next two weeks to better leg out those doubles to give Ariel a 2RBI homerun instead of a solo shot! Dalton Fallaw, Steve Enda, and Omar Gonzalez were flawless against this pitching giant, Buhrow brothers went 1-9 against him :(. Absolutely loved the 1-2 pitching knockout of Ariel Rodriguez and Dougie “Fresh” Kramer. This duo has definitely figured out their pitching groove. Freddy Barraez played lights out 3rd base with a stellar double play to home that prevented a run. Love the heart of Erik Clausen, who despite getting hurt in game 2, kept powering through and cheering on his team! Even though we lost, this team never gave up and continued to pick each other up. We tip our Bat cowls to the Grasshoppers outfield who made some of the most ridiculous catches to give their team a 10-4 win on the day. We will be ready for round 2!
