Game #22 Recap


Game 22 recap


Crows 16

Bounty Hunter 15


Game two of the doubleheader between the Crows (13-8) and the Bounty Hunters (6-15) started the same way as the first game of the tilt, with the Crows jumping out to a 12-5 lead early and it looked like "Class of" Jay Kelly (2-3 R RBI 2B) was going to sail to another complete game win. However, the usually reliable Crows defense came apart in the later innings and Americas team found themselves trailing by 2 runs in the bottom half of the last inning. With the bottom half of the order up the Crows needed a huge spark, and they got it from "Throwback" Jack Hoffman (3-3 3R RBI 2-2B) who hit a huge double scoring his brother Joe "Pipp" Hoffman. Then the greatest lead-off hitter in Crows history, Bernie "Sugar Bear" Knox (4-4 3R 4RBI 2B HR) came to plate and hit a solid single scoring "Throwback" Jack Hoffman and putting the tying run on first with Jason "Zog" Herzog(2-4 R RBI 2B) up in a clutch spot and he delivered a game winning double scoreing "Sugar Bear" giving the Crows the sweep they needed. Other offensive stars were Kyle "Duche" Christansen (2-3 R 2RBI HR) and Kevin "ESPY" Esprum (2-3 R RBI 2B) who had is consecutive hit streak snapped at 12.On a side note, Bobber down swept Stiff bats, giving the Crows sole possession of second place going into the playoffs.

Game #21 Recap


Game #21

Crows 22

Bounty Hunters 6



The Crows came into week #12 trialing Stiff bats by 1 game for second place in the league and it was the last week of the regular season. The Crows (12-8) would face the Bounty Hunters (6-14) and need a sweep coupled with the Bruce Theory lead Bobber down squad doing the same to Stiff Bats to retake back sole possession of second place. The Crows, coming off a bye week, came out with guns a blazing, putting up a 12 spot in the top of the first, pretty much "Berrying" the youngsters early. "Class of" Jay Kelly was making his first start on the mound of the year, filling in for the absent Adam "Banny" Bancroft, and was in cruise control despite a very tough wind, it was as if he had hurled all season long, and he had a 2-2 2R RBI 2-BB at the plate. Other offensive stars for the rejuvenated Crows were "The Human Hitting Machine" Mark "Hegs" Jeglosky, who was 3-4 3R 4RBI 2B 3B HR ( a single shy of the third cycle for the Crows of the year), and rookie sensation D.J. "Brocko" Brockman, 3-3 3R RBI BB. A couple of "boxing brothers" also were on fire as Joe "Pipp" Hoffman added 4 RBIs and making his 2008 debut, "Throwback" Jack Hoffman went 2-3 2R 2RBI. Entering the game, Kevin "ESPY" Esprum had a string of seven consecutive hits and kept it in tack going 3-3 2R RBI, bringing the streak to 10 straight hits. Jim "Bama" Sorenson continued to impress and earned yet another game ball going 4-4 3R 6RBI 2B 3B.

Twins O

Gleeman breaks down the Twins O in a nice little article.
It was posted yesterday, but still a good read.
The Twins may actually be doing this with smoke and mirrors.
