Despite putting up 24 runs and being home team, we couldn't quite pull it it out. If you were a betting man, the Over would have paid off.
Ron Butler's valiant Home squad put up a fight, against Freddy's Angels only to go down swinging in 10 innings. Ron's guys were down a bunch going into the bottom of the 9th inning and scored 8 runs to tie the game at 20 each. You'd think we could have found one more hit. We had the winning run on base.
Hey, at least we made it exciting for our fan. Since the current rule (soon to change) allows for an extra inning, we took the field once more to try and shut down the Angels in the 10th. Unfortunately, we gave up 5 runs before we got them out to make the score 25-20 going into the bottom of the last.
The good news is, we didn't just lay down and give up. In the bottom of the 10th, the top of our order, Andrews, Keller, Busch and Butler all reached base and scored leaving the tying and winning runs on base when the last out was made.
Final score Angels (visitors) 25, Team Butler (home) 24.
We get slightly better every game. 24 runs is a new record for us. Also note that defensively Don Keller made a great running catch in right center as well as hitting for the cycle. Way to go Don!
