On yet another windy cool May night, Those Guys and Miles Construction put on a hitting display, only this time the wind was blowing out to right field which created havoc for outfielders! Miles Construction got off to a quick start dropping 5 runs on Those Guys in the first inning. Those Guys responded the only way they know how to…light the bats on fire and start hitting! Dicky Barnes started the inning off with a double (1 of his 4 hits for the night) Bryan Kouba, Jason Novak, Mike Hoyt, Lenny Smith and Steve Maver then followed that with consecutive hits to keep the score running. Doug Schreiber put a brief hold on the action with a foul out, Donnie Markus, Ben Knight, Bill Moxley and Dicky Barnes finished off the barrage of hits to tally 9 runs in the second inning! Donnie Markus added a home run in the 4th inning adding another hit to his tally (4 total for the night) leaving him a triple shy of hitting for a cycle! The 5th inning looked almost identical to the 2nd inning, Those Guys added 7 more hits and appeared to be on the clear path to victory. Miles Construction crashed the party by adding 3 runs to keep the game close. The 7th inning was one for the ages, Those Guys were trailing by 2 runs and came up huge adding 4 hits to tie the game 20-20. Miles Construction loaded the bases and scored the game winning run as time expired for the game to seal a 21-20 victory. Those Guys showed the determination to stay in the game and matched the total amount of runs Miles Construction had given up in the first 2 games. There is no game next week in honor of Memorial Day and all of the former and current men and women serving this country, which allows us to play this great game every Monday night. Next game is June 5th at 7:30 pm where Those Guys take on their arch nemesis, The Creeps.
