The Mariners Were Hot.... and then Not

Two weeks ago the Mariners were riding a 5 game winning streak. Now they stagger into the playoffs with a 4 game losing streak against the tough Weinfeld division.

Game 1 was against the Colt 45’s. The Mariners started strong as the first 4 batters of the game scored. And that ended the offense for the Mariners as John Hauf stymied the Mariners 6-4. The Mariners grouped 6 of their 11 hits in the first inning but only had one base runner past second the rest of the game.

Game 2 was against the hard hitting Red Sox, the highest scoring team in the league. With the wind blowing out, it looked to be a high scoring affair. The Red Sox didn’t disappoint as they bashed 30 runs on 36 hits including 7 home runs in a 30-13 romp. Troy Steele, Matt Hyson and Robbie Franklin all hit dingers               ( Robbie’s an inside the parker).

Tim Jamieson was our IPOW with 4-6, a triple, 3 runs scored and 1 RBI. Matt Hyson and Robbie Franklin went 3-5. The Mariners will lick their wounds with 3 weeks until the playoffs start.
