Game 3: H-W Demons 25, Cooler Boyz 15
As expected, your heroes dominated the Cooler Boyz, but it wasn't as easy as the final score looked.
The Cooler Boyz, who were originally slated to play in Division VI this season but were bumped back up to Division V after the teams from Good Sam, Sunset Home and the Ewing (Mo.) Senior Center had to bow out, put up a valiant fight. They have improved from last year, but were still no match for the mighty Demons.
As was the case last week, The Demons raced out to an early lead only to find putting the finish touches on the game tough. The Demons led 8-1 after one and 14-2 after three. Of course, we had to go and give up seven runs in the fourth and then were one run away from putting the game away in the fifth up 20-11, but couldn't push home the final run.
Oh well, we were able to get in some extra ABs and pump up the averages a bit.
Star of the night for the Demons was Shawny. The former JWCC/QU/HLG baseball star went 3 for 5 with two home runs and seven RBI. As DOB correctly predicted when he went to the plate in the third inning, Shawny opened the deli.
Today's special: Grand Salami.
Shawny took it deep over the left-field fence for his second homer of the day. He also hit a two-run bomb in the first.
How intimidated were the Cooler Boyz of Greg McVey's former whipping boy? With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, the sad guy wearing the Cubs cap on the hill for the Boyz decided not to throw him any strikes and walked him. The first intentional walk in Division V history with the bags juiced.
Speaking of juiced, the Boyz seem a bit juiced themselves. They've made some nice additions during the off-season and actually have a few playas. I've got them winning at least four games this season.
And speaking of juiced, Cooler Boyz star Clinton Rueb must be liking the roids he's on because he went deep. (Of course, he went in the toilet after that blast. He popped out to Marky Mark at second base on his last at-bat and his team rallying. Next time, we'll just serve one up to him on his first try if he's going to stink that bad.)
The Demons certainly didn't stink. DOB is now 1-0 as interim coach. With the Weamster sunning himself in beautiful Marblehead, DOB was in charge. DOB gave up his No. 3 spot in the lineup to Jim Dandy and the move paid off as Jim went 2 for 3 with three runs scored.
Facing his Cooler homeys paid off for Kriss Kross, who went 4 for 5 with three RBI in his best performance of the season in the clean-up spot. Hopefully, he'll do now what he should have prior to Thursday's game and talk a little smack. Let the Cooler Boys know who their bosses are, fool.
Marky Mark (3 for 5 with two RBI) and Nick Nasty (4 for 5 with 3 RBI, including a game-clinching two-run single in the sixth) were also solid.
DOB slid into the 11 spot and delivered like always. He went 2 for 3 with 4 RBI. He's now hitting .667 for the season (6 for 9) with three runs scored and 4 RBI.
With the King Carl missing in action and the Weamster gone, we turned to newcomer Jazzy Jeff on the mound. Jeff was solid in his first outing. The Boyz had just one big inning off of him. He could certainly take the mound again this season. He'll have to work on the fielding though after making like Charlie Brown and screwing himself into the ground while trying to field a grounder.
Shawny also gave us laughs when he tripped over himself while trying to field a ball in left. That's what he gets for using plastic spikes he bought for 25 cents at a yard sale.
At least there were no wedgies.
Hopefully, we'll have more bodies around next week when we look to go 4-0 against DT Tattoo. Game time is 8 p.m. at Moorman Main for all of you Demons groupies.
Until next week.
