Another beatdown
Optimism was flowing out of the Second String Music Second Stringers' dugout following Thursday's 19-9 loss to One.
"Hey, at least it was only the 10-run rule this week," one Second Stringer said.
This is what it has come to for the former power brokers in the Quincy Park District Division V ranks. Pushed up a level by the powers that be in the QPD to Division IV, the Second Stringers were able to compete. Now in this hybrid Division III/IV mashup, the Second Stringers seemed to be outmatched.
Things were OK for your diamond heroes through the third inning. A home run by Kriss Kross (Yes, an honest-to-goodness, over-the-fence dinger to right field — the Second Stringers' first of the season.) gave the Second Stringers a 6-3 lead.
One finally got its offense going in the fourth and put a six-spot on the board for a 9-6 lead. But with the bottom of the Second Stringers' lineup getting it done, the Second Stringers pulled back to make it 9-8 after four.
To absolutely no one's surprise, DOB led the charge for the Second Stringers. His RBI single up the middle made it a 9-7 game in the bottom of the fourth. It was his second RBI base hit of the game.
He never got another chance to hit though.
The restaurant boys — playing without the Dreamy One — pushed home 10 runs in the top of the fifth inning. The Second Stringers had enough left in their tank to scratch out a run in the bottom of the inning.
The Second Stringers are now 1-3 on the season. As the weeks rolls by, the Second Stringers' Week 2 win over the Mules is starting to look more and more like Chaminade's upset over Ralph Sampson-led Virginia nearly 30 years ago.
The Second Stringers will get back to action next Thursday at 6 p.m. against Knapheide at Moorman Main.

They need to acquire Paz off the waiver wire.
