Keeping the dream alive!!
Their backs against the wall, the H-W Demons came through in the pinch Thursday night to keep their hopes of a dream season alive with a 15-13 victory.
Can't say that I even know what team we played, but as "The Rock" said, "it doesn't matter what your name is."
It certainly doesn't matter to the Demons, who are now 3-0 and rolling toward a Quincy Park District Division V title - the first of what will be many for the new-look Demons.
Thursday's hero was "Hitman" Hart. Hart padded his league-leading home run total by smashing two more out of Wavering at crucial times of the game. The Weamster even got it done on the mound after a shaky start. With the game tied at 13 going into the bottom of the eighth, Weamer got the Jabronies (that's what we'll call them since I don't know their name) out in order to send the game to the ninth.
"The Hitman" came through with a clutch two-run home run in the top of the inning to make it a 15-13 game. The Demons had the bases loaded and one out before our version of Ryne Sandberg, Marky Mark, popped out to left field and The Weamster, proving that pitchers can't run the bases was thrown out since he didn't know how many outs there were. Unfortunately for the Demons, third-base coach DOB was on deck ready to clear the bases with his next at-bat and wasn't where he should have been - helping keep the Weamster's head in the game. Weamster's play took the bat out of DOBs hands. (May not have been a bad thing since DOB was 0 for 3 with a walk to drop his batting average to .375 on the season).
Fortunately, the Demons didn't allow a run in the bottom of the ninth and got the win.
Bonehead play of the night doesn't go to Ed for once. Our speedy left-centerfielder, Kris Kross, struck out swinging. He actually kind of looked like his brother, The Weamster, during that at-bat. Beer's on you, pal.
Ed had a pair of key hits, but also hit into a double play with a slow roller back to the pitcher. Buddy, unhitch the trailer already.
The Demons will be back in action next Thursday when another inferior foe will go down.

We proved something tonight by winning and not playing our "A" game. Give Weamster credit, he struggled at times but he got it done when it counted.
I give credit to DOB, who trash talked the other team all night and got into their heads during the eighth and ninth innings, and to the inspiration of former KHQA sports guy Kurt LaBelle, who enjoyed cheering/heckling his former media mates from the stands. "Kris Kross?" I'm crying I'm laughing so hard ...
