Bulldogs Dog MBC with Unearned Runs

Well, we have flirted with bad defense and walks before and got away with it, last night against a good hitting Bulldog team we were not as lucky. Seven UNEARNED RUNS in a 8-7 loss, ouch.

It was not like the Bulldogs were not trying to give us the game. They matched us head to head in the walk department, seven per team. They begged us to end it early, but we refused. After four innings we held a 7-1 lead, two runs from going home.

But reminiscent of last years Kirkland Merchant disappointment, we let a team stay with us, and we let their number nine hitter become a hero with a two out, two run single in the bottom of the seventh.

One of the things I like about baseball is that you are never out of a game. No matter what the deficit, the other team still has to get three outs to end the game. Well we saw the bad side of this great game of baseball and hopefully learned more tonight that we will all year.

The Bulldogs held our big bats at bay for the most part. Tino Peleti, Mitchel Smith each had hits and Riley Duffy and Adam Hintorne both had two hits. Adam "wee man" belted a huge double and had two RBI.
