January 30th Results

Polo Grounds

6pm vs Justin's Team (A)
W, 14-12

Shelby! Shelby! Shelby!

A back and forth game ends in dramatic fashion.  
Justin's Team started with one run in the top of the first while Slow Poke answered with Sage hitting a two run quadruple (inside the park HR) scoring Trevor.  
Justin's Team answered with two in the second while Pokes one upped them again scoring three to make the score 5-3.  
The third inning saw much of the same with Justin's Team tying it up with two more.  Pokes went up two after singles by Zak, Josh P, and Trevor and Sage capped off the inning with an RBI double.
The fourth inning was all Slow Poke with Team HARF (Haslam, Adair, Romo, Ferguson) starting things off with Nate's single and Shelby's double.  Josh H hit a towering fly ball to center that was inches from leaving the yard, but stayed in to score Nate on the sac fly.  Zak hit a sweet line drive down the right field line for a triple scoring Shelby and Ross.  Probst singled to score Zak and Trevor smashed a double knocking in Probst to make the score 12-5.  
Justin's Team fought back in the four in the fifth inning and three in the seventh to even it up at 12.
Bottom of the seventh saw Skyler lead off with a single setting up Nate... He popped up to the pitcher.  Luckily Team HARF has Shelby to blast a mighty walk off home run to center.  
Game Over.
