Rangers split a pair on Sunday in the frigid conditions.  In first tilt they had trouble warming up and never really broke out the lumber losing to the bear Cubs 11-6.  Hitting spotty and some leaky defense lead to their demise.  Only 10 hit and 4 free passes were garnered by the coolish Gers in an uninspired L.   Welcome aboard our new perm sub, Doug "Ben" Hogan who had 20% of our base knocks.

Second game pitted the Gers against the Cards.  We did not explode but were effective enough to scratch out am 8-3 victory.  The defense was solid and pitching crisp.  Hitting was more timely but still lacking a bit of punch....of course Tim Abercombrie "and Fitch" showed plenty of fire power with two Big Flies and another disputed double (called out) and 2 RBI's.   Monty "python" Slaver had 2 hits, one very timely and 2 big RBI's.  Bobby Cowboy also had 2 RBI's  and Mike W gutted out an injury to paly well in RF and add an RBI single.

It was a good 2nd game and the Gers will get their brooms ready for next Sunday!!
