A's vs. Guzzlers (Sunday, June 15, 2007)

During a weekend that was mostly overcast and gloomy, the sun finally shon through for the 5pm matinee between the A's and Guzzlers. "Crazy" Will Lowe got the start for the A's, while "Disco" Stu Shonfeld started for the Guzzlers.

The A's didn't waste any time getting runs. In the opening frame, the A's tagged Stu for a few hits. The A's scored twice, but Stu kept his composure and got out of the inning. When it came time for "Crazy" Will to pitch, he was all wired up as usual. "Crazy" Will was looking to redeem himself after a poor showing against the Good Ol' Boys. "Crazy" Will struck out two batters in the bottom half of the inning.

The remainder of the game proceeded like the first inning. The A's never got a big inning or a big play, but constantly applied pressure to the Guzzlers pitching staff. Stu managed to last 4 innings, while "Crazy" Will went the full seven. The final score, 9-0, was representative of the game play. The Guzzlers were never in the game, but they kept losing ground each inning.

I believe everyone on the A's got on base at some point. I, personally, was hitting well, despite only going 1 for 4 at the plate. I hit a couple of hard liners to their fielders, and a fly ball that I just got under. Sadly, my worst hit ball resulted in a base hit. Baseball is funny that way.
