Game 6: H-W Demons 20, Uncle Bob's 17
As the great philosopher of the late 1980s LL Cool J once sang:
"Don't call it a comeback, we've been here for years."
(I'm pretty sure the Funions cover LL, too.)
It one of the most stirring comebacks in H-W Demons history, your diamond heroes kept their perfect record in tact Thursday night with a come-from-behind victory over the Brewmeisters at a soggy Upper Moorman.
After spotting Uncle Bob's a 12-run lead after the top of the first inning, the Demons rallied to improve to 6-0 on the season. Credit Uncle Bob's for spraying the ball all around the park in the first inning, which seemed like it was never going to end.
Credit Jazzy Jeff for keeping his cool on the mound, and for the Demons' bats for sizzling once again. After a one-run first, the Demons struck for four in the second to pull within 12-5 thanks to a three-run inside-the-park homer by Cooley-O.
The Demons battled back to tie the game with a seven-run fourth inning and tacked on seven more runs in the sixth. Jazzy Jeff hit like a pitcher in the sixth, making like Marky Mark of a week ago and making two outs in the inning. (And shouldn't doing that be worth some sort of beer penalty?)
We made a few flubs in the field, but we also had a few nice double plays as well. We actually threw a guy out at the plate on a fly ball hit to Eric B. in left field. (Yes, Eric B. was in left because the most p-whipped man in Quincy, Shawny, wasn't at the game because he had to take his girl to the Sadie Hawkins dance or something.) Eric B. rifled a throw to Cooley-O, who threw a perfect strike to Jazzy Jeff, who was covering home on the play. (Why Jazzy was covering home, I'll never know. The Weamster was the catcher tonight. Hopefully, he got a good look at the play and that there is actually someone in the league who runs slower than he does.)
Hitman Hart also made a nice play at second base after being taken out by some thug Brewmeister. Hitman was pumped up on the play. If he had his guitar on him, he certainly would have made like Jeff Jarrett and blasted him over the head with it.
After taking a 20-14 lead into the seventh, Uncle Bob's tried to comeback, but it was futile. Like he's done many times before, Big John Studd made a play to end the game, this time diving to his right to snag a liner, earning him the game ball.
We'll put perfection on the line again next week as we start the second half of our season. Wavering will be the site for our first meeting of the year with JJ's Kitchen. Game time is 7 p.m. Hitman will be guest blogging as work will have me out of town. First place will be on the line, too. JJ's is 5-1 after beating Paulie's Customs in a battle of 4-1 teams on Thursday.
Vegas odds have Shawny showing up at 3 to 1 against. There's a sock hop next Thursday that he might have to attend.

Hit man Hart really wanted a 2nd ear injury on that play! Good thing he is tall or we would all be talking into his ear cone!
Luci fur will be sporting a HW Demons bandana soon as the official mascot! We might even teach her to run the bases for Weamster!
