Legends at Clowns (L 19-12)

Legends Army started with a bang as “Hacksaw” Kelly Stites led off with a Single, followed by a single from “Bam Bam Bigelow” Vinnie Terhune.  “Poppa Pump” Kravitz and “The Mouth” Kilburn would advance the runners with Sac Flies.  “Oh you didn’t know” Shaw would then spark a 2 out rally helping the Legends Army to plate 7 at the end of 1.  The Clowns would fight back and the battle would rage back and forth.  Ultimately the close matchup was derailed by a REALLY bad defensive inning which would see 6 errors...and allow the Clowns to jump ahead. 19-12 but the Legends were unable to answer.  Final score Clowns 19, Legends 12.

Vinnie Terhune 3-3, triple, 2 RS, 2 RBIs

David Shaw 2-3, RS, 2 RBIs

Andrew Williams 2-3, triple, 2 RS, 2 RBIs

Liam Kilburn 2-3, RS, 2 RBIs

Ray Hebbeler 2-3, 2 RBIs

Pirates at Legends (W 14-11)

The Pirates came out strong, and fast scoring first.  The Legends followed up with a fast start, kicked off by a walk by Stites, a single by Terhune, and a Home Run Blast by Kravitz. Kilburn would single, but no more runs would cross. The second inning would not be a productive one, as the Legends would go down in 4 batters.  The third inning however, would be a different story.  Stites would lead off the inning with a double, followed by a SAC fly from Vinnie, then 3 singles in a row as Kravitz, Kilburn and Shaw would all reach the bases safely. More hits from “Rowdy” Williams, Liam “Xpac” Kilburn, “Tajiri” MingHung Tsai and Mark “Fritz” Fishkind would plate 5.  Bring the total run count to 8, and the score 8-9 going into the 4th.  A single from Ron “Wooooooo” Roberts would roll the order over, but in a rare moment, the top of the order would not score... The Pirates would score 2 more to get to 11.  Making the score 11-9.  Leading off in the 5th, Shaw would blast a Home run, followed by back to back to back singles from Jacob “Warrior” Stites, Andy “Rowdy” Williams and Liam Kilburn, again “Fritz” Fishkind and “The Anvil” Hebbeler would advance the runners...but no more would cross.  With the score close at 12-11 and the Pirates would fail to plate any more runs...  Hoping to get 3 outs before the clock expired the Pirates went after the Legends batters, a fly out by Terhune would spark a tiny flame of hope.  Kravitz would take the walk as the Pirates hoped to set up the double play.  With a first pitch strike delivered to Kilburn, and the clock winding down, the Pirates pitcher would throw one more strike...but alas no joy in Mudville for the Pirates as Kilburn would blast the ball over the fence in the waning seconds..  Final Score Legends 14, Pirates 11.
