Game 1: Miller’s Mariners at Buhrow’s Bats

 

The Batmen took their battle for justice to the seas against the Mariners...or the Milleners if you prefer. The kicked off the fight with solid blows from Pete “shorter shorts than the I Heart Joshy Ballgame fiasco” Salazar, Ryan Driggers and Jon Simonson to put the Mariners up 7-0. The Batmen still had a few tricks up their Bat gloves, kicking off the bottom of the 1st with back to back triples from Dylan Buhrow and Dalton Fallaw. Ariel Rodriguez, Doug Kramer, Steve Enda, Jim Finley, and Daniel Buhrow would string together a cornucopia of base hits to get the Bats score close again at 5-7. Next two innings would be quiet, then the 4th inning thunder came. Daniel Buhrow and Omar Gonzalez would start with a couple of singles, Dylan Buhrow would bring Daniel in with a screaming double, followed by a ribbie from Dalton and a 3RBI homer from Ariel. The Bats didn’t let up, with David Buhrow getting on, Doug bringing him in with a double, Steve bringing Doug in with his SECOND triple of the game, Daniel would get on again in the same inning and the hits would finally stop with Jim “the gazelle” Finley losing the home plate run to two perfectly thrown balls from the outfield and John Miller. Dalton Fallaw would make the final blow in the 5th with a solo homer, giving the Bats a 14-9 victory! 

Final Score: Bats 14 - Mariners 9 

Game 2: Buhrow’s Bats at Muck’s Rubberducks

 

Game 2 was a different story as the Bats took the lead early and never let it go. The Bats looked very comfortable at the plate with production coming from everyone. Dalton Fallaw hits a grand salami in the top of the 2nd to put the Bats up 7. 4 of the Bats took walks to get on, including a clutch bases loaded walk from Steve Enda in the 4th inning. This rubber ducky bath time went into extra time, but these Batmen did not get pruny fingers and held off the final attempt from the Rubberducks for another victory and a sweep on the day. These Bats are smelling clean and fresh and ready for next weekend! 

Final Score: Bats 14 - Rubberducks 7
