The weather was hot and so were Those Guys’ bats….for one inning. Those Guys jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first inning with 6 hits. Jason Novak had a triple (which should’ve been a home run if he ran harder!), Steve Maver and Ben Knight had a double each, Dicky Barnes, Bryan Kouba and Mike Hoyt went back-to-back-to-back with singles. Big Blue played possum until the 6th inning when they rallied and scored 9 runs. Those Guys could only tally 2 runs the rest of the game. There seems to be a trend with Those Guys where they hit the snot out of the ball for the first inning and then the bats seem to disappear as the game goes on. Jason Novak led the way for Those Guys tallying 3 RBIs and 3 hits (2 triples and a double), Dicky Barnes also tallied 3 hits for the evening (2 singles and a double). Marko Skubiak came to the plate for the first time this season and ripped a single, he then struck out on foul balls in the 6th inning. Those Guys have a tough up hill battle this season already, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, the team seems to be getting their hits as no player had a .000 batting average for the night. They will have to keep the bats alive next week when they take on Miles Construction at 6:30.
