B61 Softball

and here's his write-up from their game last night vs Dirt
Dawgs i mean, isn't there something a little profane in
comparing one's team/play/game to dimagio and ripken?:

BNS Wins 6th Straight with Record Setting Performance!
On Wednesday Brooklyn Net Sellers (BNS) took the field
against the struggling Dirt Dawgs, with a chance to clinch
a playoff birth and keep their hopes of finishing the
regular season in second place in the eastern division
alive. Not only did they win the game, but did it in
record setting fashion winning 48 - 0. In doing so BNS
formerly Smith's Tavern set records for runs scored in a
game, margin of victory and hits in a game (47). And like
Joe DiMagio's 56 game hitting streak and Cal Ripken Jr's
2632 consecutive games streak, these records may never be
broken. Here's a look at the line-up that had two
different players hit for the cycle on this record setting
day.

Not to be lost in the onslaught of offense was BNS'
spectacular pitching and defense that allowed just two
base runners via a bloop double in the first inning and a
leadoff walk in the third. To be commended was the
attitude and spirit of the Dirt Dawgs. They never gave up
and never were sore. They played with enthusiasm and high
spirits through out. Something many other teams probably
would not have done given the situation. JP

NOTE: BNS used their first female exemption during the
game and played with 2 women.

We got our game written up on the YMCA web site! Very exciting!

B61, Clinches Playoff Birth, One Win Away From Home Field Advantage
In a game they had to have, B61 pulls out a victory in dramatic fashion. B61 currently sits in second place in the East division, but a hard charging BNS team is pressing them for the spot. So when they took the field on Tuesday, they had a lot to play for. The however didn't start in a positive fashion. Through the first three innings Angry Wade's held a 4 - 0 lead. But AW played a very loose and sloppy defensive game and allowed B61 to tie the game in the top of the third. And that set the stage in the fifth inning for B61's O'Henry to hit a Chris G. pitch to deep right center field for a three run home run and take a 7 - 4 lead late in the contest. It seemed as if a giant weight was lifted off B61's collective shoulders. They would play sparkling defense the rest of the way. With the victory B61 clinches a playoff birth and with just one more win B61 can clinch home field in round one of the playoffs. JP

I know it took forever, but I finally got the BNS writeup online. Now, I just have to write the next 3! You can see them all at www.redhooksoftball.com/b61
