Game #19 Recap

CROWS 7

STIFF BATS 9

Game 19 had the two teams tied for second place in league facing each other in a head to head match-up. The Crows(11-7) facing Stiff Bats (11-7). The Crows, playing their first game in 2008 under new Coach William Nolan, were hoping to shake the hitting slump that has plagued them over the last 6 weeks. The Crows had a new coach, a new "Nancy" award (the pink cowboy hat), and a slightly different line-up but got the same result, as they just could not string any hits together. "It F*&^%$#@ looks like it will have to F*&^%$# get worse before it F#$%^&* gets better" Coach Nolan told WCAWWW reporters in a tirade after the game. There may have been an Oman in the first inning when the Crows most consistent hitter, "The Human Hitting machine" Mark "Hegs" Jeglosky stepped to plate with 1 out, and Jason "Zog" Herzog on first base. "Hegs" laced one up the middle, off the pitchers glove and right to the second basemen who stepped on two and threw to one completing the double play, thus making "Hegs" the first to have to sport the new Pink cowboy for the first inning. Offensive stars for the struggling Crows were Bernie "Sugar Bear" Knox who had a homerun and 4 RBIs and Kevin "Espy" Esprum, who was 3-3 with a run scored. D.J. "Brocko" brockmen continued to run away with the rookie of the year race with 2-3 performance. But grabbing his first game ball of the year and making Coach Nolan look like a genius for moving him up to the two spot in the batting order was Jason "Zog" Herzog who had a perfect 3-3 night and a stellar defensive performance at shortstop, filling in for the rehabbing "Arkansas" Dave Sorenson.
