Team Summaries | Timber Rattlers Notes: The Commissioner's Cup, part 1! The highly anticipated matchup of AA Commissioners was viewed by a boisterous crowd. There were fives of fans in attendance, and they were rewarded with a doozy! The first round of fireworks was immediate. Q took the mound in the top of the first and the Dogs showed classic hunting dog patience, coaxing 4 walks and wearing a bruise and then running the bases like demon dogs - well-trained demon dogs. Before the grass under the fans' butts was warm, it was 5-0 and the T-Rats had been given a valuable lesson in baserunninig. Q settled down in the second, retiring 3 batters on just 14 pitches, and the T-Rats offense began to click. 2 runs scored on Bootsy's single to left in the bottom of the 2nd, with Ryan out trying to score from 1st on a great relay by the Dogs. Four T-Rats pitchers each threw in the final 4 innings, highlighted by Red Bull's 12-pitch, 3-strikeout performance. Pitching and Defense dominated the middle frames, with clean infield play and an F9 recorded as well. The score was 7-3 entering the bottom of the 5th. The fireworks started back up, with the T-Rats plating 5, showing great plate discipline in many at bats. The big hit of the inning was Wiffle's right handed clout to left, a standup triple that ignited the bench and had the coaches wishing they had put up the home run fence! The final out showed that the T-Rats had learned the lesson the Dogs taught them in the first - with Clam on the mound and in a little jam, the T-Rats seized control of the baserunning. 7Up backpicked the lead runner at 2nd base with a bullet throw to Q, who dropped down a tag for the win. The final score was 8-7, and the game was somehow much closer than that. See you all again in May. Called Up: Wiffle Sea Dogs Notes: |
