It was a strange night for baseball. Early on it looked like MBC could do no wrong. Soon it looked like disaster as MBC could do no right. A strong fifth inning corrected it all and MBC took home a 11-9 victory.
Stuart Fairchild channeled Dr Jeckl and Mr. Hyde from the mound tonight, as did his defense. Stuart loaded the bases in the first giving up a flare single, a hard single, and then watched his middle infielders pass on an inning ending double play ball. The middle guys turned two on the next (much tougher play) to keep the Mudville Beasts off the scoreboard.
In MBC’s first Coach Cougan wondered for a bit if the Beasts were EVER going to make a play to get an out. With three runs in and the bases loaded it looked like an early rout. But after double play ball and a strike out later he was happy to have four runs.
Things went smooth until the third when the Beasts showed us where their name came from by jumping all over MBC to score six big runs. Tino Peleti answered with a triple in the third to bring MBC within one and then took control of the game from the mound.
In the fifth, MBC regained the lead, and their composure as they tallied six runs and cruised the rest of the way to victory.
Ben Thompson was 3-4, Nick Reeves and Tino Peleti were 2-4, and Mitchell Smith and Campy Queen were 2-3. Others in the hit parade were Stuart Fairchild, Sam Deane and Andrew Kennedy.
