Feeling like the Yankees (on field C)

Some Yankees!

Team Yankees(oops) Holden went down to a resounding defeat at the hands of Teams Mills and Wells. 

Similarities are drawn when you look at the batting averages for the top hitters on Team Holden and the Yankees. The game got off to a slow start for Denny's team as they were not able to generate any offense and managed zero runs through the first three innings. 

Team Wells fared no better seeing zero runs through the first four innings. 

Alas, this was not the case for Team Mills that scored four runs in the first, followed by one run in the second and third innings. The big hit for Team Mills was Larry Powell's triple.

Team Holden had a small rally in the fourth and fifth innings and scored once in each. The big hit coming off Gary Turpin's bat to lead off the fifth. It was his first day playing in the league. While the scoring was encouraging, it was surpassed by Teams Wells and Mills. Team Wells scored six in the fifth off eight singles. Team Mills scored five in the fifth off some well placed singles.

The seventh was another for the books. Team Mets (oops) Holden scored only one run to fall well short of the other two teams. I used the Mets instead of Yankees because they looked like the Mets on defense. Team Mills scored nine runs in their third of the inning when Team Holden couldn't seem to make a catch or a throw. Bobby Hite did get a legitimate triple but only after enough errors were made that he got up at all. Team Wells started the bottom of the inning strong but only managed one run. 

The final scores being Team Mills 20 
                                  Team Wells 10
                                  Team Holden 5.

Recognition for outstanding play goes to:

Bobby Hite         4 for 5 with a triple

Larry Powell       3 for 3 with a triple

Reggie Barnes     3 for 3

Some days it just feels like you're batting uphill
