Show us the hardware!!!!
For the second straight summer, your heroes from the Herald-Whig Demons have won hardware. Thanks to an 11-0 spanking of the U.S. Cooler Boyz at Wavering on Thursday night, the Demons finished in a tie for second place in the tough-as-nails Quincy Park District Division V softball race with an 8-4 record.
Because of our devastating loss last week to Snap-On Tools, the Snappers had the tiebreaker over your heroes and took home the tainted second place trophy. The Demons, after years without any bling to show for their efforts, now have another third-place trophy to put next to the third place trophy they captured last season. (Is it any coincidence that their new-found success comes as soon as DOB joins the team? I think not.)
And much like the Chicago White Sox did with the World Series trophy after winning it last year, the Demons will be putting their trophy on display for the millions and millions of their fans to enjoy. Check into the SportsWriters Journal on CGEM (Quincy cable channel 18) at 6 p.m. Friday night to see the trophy in all of its glory.
DOB, who earned Most Improved Player honors for the entire Division V, will have the trophy on display and vows not to let Ed touch it.
As expected, the finale was nothing more than a prolonged victory lap for the Demons.
(Time out to make a correction from last week's post. The Cooler Boyz do have a win to their name. They were able to beat Snap-On Tools a few weeks ago. That means they finish with a 1-11 record. Congrats to them. They're the early favorites to win the newly formed Division VI next year, which will include formitable foes from Sunset Home, the Illinois Veterans Home, Good Samaritan and Chaddock. The residents of each of those facilities will be fielding teams.)
Back to Thursday's action. It's obvious that we had the wrong Wiemelt on the mound all season long. Kriss Kross, subbing for his ignorant brother, put on a display. (OK, it was the Cooler boyz, but a shutout in any slowpitch game is impressive.) I believe no Cooler player reached third base against the crafty lefty, who struck out more batters in one game than his brother, The Weamster, did all season.
The Demons nickled and dimed their way to the win, tacking on a few runs each inning to get to the 10-run limit. DOB finished a sparkling season at the plate with yet another 2-for-3 performance. He walked once and drove in a run. He also fouled out for the first time since the opener. He finished the season with a robust .645 average (20 for 31) with 10 RBI.
The defense was solid behind Kriss Kross. The middle of the infield was solid with Nick the Quick and Marky Mark making some solid plays. The outfield was also salty. DOB, playing right field, showed why his glove as been dubbed as the place "where doubles go to die" by making a catch in the only ball the Cooler Boyz dared hit to him.
With at least one roster spot open with Ed's departure (see above post), the Demons will certainly have a different look for the 07 season. Oh, and we have to dump King Carl, too, who dissed us all season. What a chump.
