JL Sluggers vs. Veris Consulting, LLC

It was a painful night for the JL Sluggers Thursday, and that isn't even considering the score. No more than a half inning into the game, Wicked Hittah and Special K were struck by the injury bug as both suffered from pulled quad muscles. Looking more like the Geriatric Sluggers as they hobbled around the bases, it would only be the start of the casualties on the night. Making her pitching debut, Squirt suffered a toe cramp in the second inning, and Walk Me pulled up lame after crushing a base hit to left. It is a good thing that there was no game limit on courtesy runners, because the JL Sluggers were hobbling on and off the base paths a dime a dozen. The good news is that meant the JL Sluggers were getting on base with regularity. In fact, every member of the team reached base safely at least once in the game. The JL Sluggers combined for 17 hits on the night, with runs scored by Special K, Greased Lightning, Fluffy, G-Man, Squirt, Nebraska (2), and Sturgis. Unfortunately eight runs weren't enough as the JL Sluggers fell 22-8 after a 10 run first inning for the visitors. On the bright side, making her pitching debut, Squirt tossed a scoreless second inning, facing only four batters in one of the most efficient defensive innings all season.
