Something About Double Headers, MBC Falls to Bellevue in Nightcap

This team has two losses this year.  Both have come in the evening game of double headers.  And these are tough double headers.  We have hours between games.  It is hard to stay hungry.  Hard to beat a fresh opponent who is waiting to play their first game of the day.

Our game against the Bellevue BBC was a frustrating exercise.  We came off an earlier game where we bashed the ball at will and were rewarded with hits, runs and all the glory that comes with running around the bases.  Tonight we hit balls right at defenders who made plays and sent us back out to the field.

Conversely, their balls seemed to find holes, places where we ain't.  They scored about a run an inning and before we knew it, we were down six, and then they threw down a big inning and we were down fourteen runs.

The only positive thing that I can say was that there was one nervous team over there HOPING for a mercy shortened game.  Down fourteen runs our club battled back and got the run that would have extended the game (boy do I sound lame here, but really the Bellevue team was desperate to end it because they feared our ability to come back) to second base, before they got the third out. 

Tino Peleti  and Jake Hawken were 2-2, an injured Ben Thomson still came through with a double, Stuart Fairchild hit a deep double and David Becker and Chris Luttinen both joined the hit parade
