8/1/2010 vs Dirtbags

Well, this Sunday we were the visiting team and things started off pretty good for us. We scored 3 runs in the top of the first with the help of a passed ball and a long homerun hit by myself. I felt good about the start we had to the game here. Well, we lost that lead right away. Everything the Dirtbags hit in their first fell. Jam shots just over the infield, super high balls hit straight into the ground. The Dirtbags went on to score 8 runs in the first.


After a terrible first inning we settled down. Austin Gallego found a grove and kept us in the game after that. We starting chipping away at the Dbags lead and got within 3 runs. After coming so close, everything started to fall apart. It didn't help when you have an horrible umpire too. Closest we got was 7 to 10. Then I came in to hopefully keep us close and did not do so well. I gave up two and then five. We couldn't score any runs to keep us in the game. We had one instance where we got the bases loaded and no outs and then went 3 strikeouts to score no runs. We just could not hit like we know how to. We need to come out next week ready to hit and score 20 runs. We know we are 20 times better than how we played on Sunday. We need to get out of this hitting funk and rake like we can. On a good note, Alex Seider hit is first homerun of the season.
