Another gorgeous Sunday afternoon, and another feeble showing from What?!. The team was only able to score 8 runs on the day, with half of that coming in the last inning of the day. That by itself might have been okay if the team had pitched perfect games. But the moons did not align, and two more losses were added onto the team's record for the season.
In game 1, the team only managed two hits, 2 measly singles via Lance and Eric S. As Matt T tried to keep the team in the game with a valiant pitching effort, the lack of offense in addition to a sieve like defense threw away any chance of a win.
In the 2nd game, What?! stayed in the ballgame for the most part. It remained a tied game at two a piece until the 6th inning, when starting pitcher Felix lost the zone with 2 outs and walked a bunch of runs in. Matt F came in relief and was unable to douse the fire until a couple more runs were scored. Ultimately, these runs proved too much to overcome even as the team tried to mount a mini-comeback in the top of the 7th.
On the day, John and Ryan continued to be the most consistent offensive threats for the team, chipping in with 3 and 2 hits respectively. The only extra base hits came from Eric S and Felix, who each launched RBI triples. Other notable contributions came from Matt F, who had 2 hits, Janine, who drive in 3 of the team's runs, and Tara, who got her first hit and RBI of the season.
With the Mother's Day bye week, hopefully the team has a chance to clear their heads and get back to winning softball.
