THEE Beer Nuts shock Yaga...Yeaga...Yaega...Y-Bombs, well almost...

Final score
TBN 2
Bombs 2*

I dont think that anyone (besides Beer Nuts team members) would have predicted so close of an outcome. As stated earlier in Chandlers power rankings this week Thee Beer Nuts had a run differential of -11 and the Yeagabombs of +24, so I personally was going into this game kinda like when the Rams played the Vikings two weeks ago, I just didnt want to get embarrassed.

The game was filled with great kicks and strong defense from both teams through the first 4 innings. The Beer Nuts being the home team do to my lack of chugging skills were up 2-1 going into the top of the 5th inning and they could taste the upset.

The Y-Bombs were back to the top of their lineup and switched up their straegy to playing small ball and getting runners on base instead of blasting balls into the outfield as they had been doing in the innings prior. With the first two men reaching on infield singles a line drive went to me in CF which I played and sprinted to 2nd base to get the force out and hold the runners to 1st and 3rd. The next kicker (another guy) kicked a sac fly out to CF and tied the game up. The next girl was thrown out on her bunt attempt and that was the game. To date that is 2 blown wins by TBN this season. Closing games out has never been their forte, well or winning for that matter.

*This is where I come to my dilemma, it only occured to me after the game and after I left the field that the Y-Bombs had 4 guys in a row kick in the top of the 5th. The first time through the lineup I am 99% positive that they did not have 4 guys kick in a row but since I didnt call them out on it in the game and didnt get a lineup (Rob style) from them before the game there was nothing I could do about it. Whether it was intentional or not I think they kicked out of order. Either way I was happy not to lose.

Thanks to the Yeaga's (esp Liz, Julie, Cliff, Robyn & Robert) I always love playing them and this game was no different. Great game!

I can assure you that we did not bat out of order.

I keep very detailed stats and publish them for our team weekly in an excel spreadsheet.

Thanks Rob, I retract my previous statement. I just didnt remember where you had 4 guys in a row, but that could have had to do with the amount of beers I drank haha.
