JL Sluggers @ BAE Bombers

Still winded from the previous hour's slugfest, the JL Sluggers struggled out of the gate against the Bombers from BAE. With only two runners reaching base in the first two innings, a hit by "Wicked Hittah" and "Squirt" reaching after being hit by a pitch, the JL Sluggers found their second wind in the fourth inning. Trailing 15-0 after the third inning, the JL Sluggers sent nine batters to the plate in the top of the fourth. "Downtown" led things off with a hit to open the inning. Consecutive singles by "Special K," "Wicked Hittah," "Fluffy," "Greased Lightning," "Hitigator," "G-Man," "Walk Me," and "Law Dawg," resulted in five runs in a morale boosting fourth inning for the JL Sluggers. There is no telling how many more runs the JL Sluggers could have scored had the game not been called for exceeding the time limit in the bottom of the fourth inning. The final score was 23-5 in favor of the Bombers, but the JL Sluggers had nothing to hang their heads about, as they discovered their offensive groove before the night ended. The JL Sluggers were anchored on the night by two solid games of pitching from rubber-armed workhorse, "Law Dawg," and the exceptional defense of "G-Man" who made several fine plays at first base.

The JL Sluggers will look to continue their hot hitting in next week's contests against Veris Consulting, LLC and Scitor Corporation at Bready Park, beginning at 6:00pm. Hope to see you there!
