River Hogs vs. Independents
Saturday, June, 18, 2005 | vs.
Midland
Bay City 17, Midland 7
The battle of the lumber towns resumed today. The venue of match two, which found the River Hogs one game down, was the lovely Village of Sebawing. Despite the neutral site, the Midland club made themselves quite at home, and staked themselves to an early 3 aces to none lead over the Independents.
In the fourth innings the Bay City club would find their form, thanks to the alert base running of Sean "Tanner" LeRoux and their clutch two hands lost hitting, and tallied 6 aces for themselves. The River Hogs would not be outdone, and rang the tally bell two times in their half of the 4th innings to narrow the Bay City lead to one.
The Midland Club whitewashed the Bay Citys in the next two innings, and evened the score in the bottom of the 6th innings.
Again it was with two hands lost that the top of the Independents striking order came to life. Led by the striking of "Tanner" LeRoux, Branden "The Rope" Revette, Dan "Pudge" Decuf, Dennis "Double D." Dinauer, and Ray "The Banker" Banister, the hometown club would score 5 runs before closing their half of the 7th innings.
The Bay City fieldsman then laid down some whitewashing of their own for the next two River Hogs innings, but continued their own fine striking in their usual two hands down form. This time it was the bottom half of the order who led the ace parade. Jayme "Stats" Johnson started a rally that would see its finish when the Bay Citys had totaled 6 more runs, to bring their total to 17 for the match.
The River Hogs rang the final tally of the day in their half of the ninth innings, but it would not be enough. The final score of the match would find the River Hogs on the short end of a 17-7 tally total.
The Bay Citys now hold the upper hand in the "Lumbermen Series", at 2 matches to none. The "Series" will resume on Tuesday, June 21st, at 6pm. The venue will be Field A, at Veteran's Memorial Park, in Bay City.
