This game saw more hits than a Snoop dog concert. A 13-9 loss for the A's, this was certainly not one of the better performances by the team as a whole. To the Good Ol' Boys credit, they came out hitting, and hitting hard. They rocked our ace and chased him out of the game. Crazy Will's drop ball was not dropping, and he paid for it.
Defensively, the A's were not at their sharpest. Although no majors gaffes, the defence did not create any plays to help limit the bleeding caused by the massive amount of runs against. Offensively, the A's held their own. Nine runs is nothing to be ashamed of, but the defence and pitching just didn't cut it against the GOB's.
This was a very important game for the A's. The A's needed to prove that they were indeed a force to be reckoned with in the BMFL. The A's have had the benefit of playing some of the lower seeded teams in the past few games. This game marked the first time the A's played a team above .500 in quite a while. Although we did not win, we were pleased with the offensive production against an elite pitcher such as Andy Dunn. We made several comebacks and our "never-say-die" attitude was a pleasant change from previous seasons. The A's are trying to work out the kinks in order to be a well oiled machine.
The next game is against the Guzzlers.
