The BALLS get WACKED by the GOODFELLAS

Heading into the 4th game of the season the BALLS had winning in mind.
After winning the season opener against Scotch and than losing the next 2 games
the BALLS were in need of a W to help get the wind behind their sails.
They would be heading into the game down 3 balls.
LeonSpinx is still in Jamaica on the honeymoon
Breitenbach had school to attend, and
Sheetser is off to Costa Rica for 2 weeks on what sounds like a fun filled vacation.
Even proud new Pappa Bo was going to be able to make the game.
so heading into the game the BALLS were 9 in total.
Scojo was able to get a buddy to step up and fill in to complete the 10 man roster.
So with a full squad the BALLS headed into the game with a losing record of 1-2
The Balls lost the coin toss and grabbed thier bats first as the visiting team.
Unable to string together some hits the balls we shutout in the first inning
In the bottom half the BALLS gave up 4 runs, not on bad fielding,
the other team was just hitting the ball well, and in the gaps.
in the 2nd inning the BALLS looked much better putting up 4 runs
with hits strung together by Mueller, Blake, Sebass, Ben and Clue
to bring the game to a tie score of 4-4 heading into the bottom half
when the balls took the field it was a quick 3 up and 3 down for the goodfellas
keeping the game tied at 4 a piece heading into the 3rd.
Beardo got things started off in the 3rd with a lead off walk single
Socal moved him over with a terrible dribbler to the SS.
Than the BALLS turned it on with consecutive singles from
Mueller, Blake, Sebass and Ben and a sacrafice from Clue
followed up by a ripped shot from Bo to put the BALLS up 8-4.
The BALLS let the lead slip away fast by giving up another 5 runs in the 3rd.
heading into the 4th and down a run (9-8) the BALLS were looking to get things going
however, it was quite the opposite. Not able to get anything going the BALLS
were a quick up and down putting up no hits in the inning.
After letting another 2 runs slip through the BALLS were in need of some firepower
heading into the 5th inning down 11-8.
With 2 quick outs put up next to the plate was Clue.
who ripped a triple down the LF line to get things going
followed up immediatley by a smashed single from Bo to bring Clue home.
unfortunately that would be all the BALLS could do for the inning.
The bottom half of the 5th the BALLS would give up another 4 runs
bringing the score to 15-9 through 5 complete innings.
In the 6th the BALLS would start getting things going with
a single rip from Scojo, unfortunately after that the BALLS were 3 up and 3 down.
In the bottom of the 6th the BALLS stepped up their defense and allowed NO HITS
This would round up the 6th inning and head into the 7th where it would be the
BALLS last chance to pull out a come from behind victory
However, much like the rest of the game they just couldnt get the bats on the ball
Excluding a single from Ben the Balls would go down in order and finish the game
with another ugly L. Bringing their current summer record to 1-3.

Come on out this week and cheer on your BALLS as they take on
Beer Drinkers Gone Bad @715pm on Tuesday June the 5th on the usual Field 4.
