Well that escalated quickly…Those Guys had one of the best offensive nights of their season (with 5 team members not in attendance) in a lopsided 22-12 victory against MoJoes. MoJoes put 5 runs on the board in the first inning and took their foot off the gas until the fifth inning. Those Guys tallied 6 hits in the first inning plating 4 runs. That was just the appetizer of what was to come. The second inning was a hit parade; Lenny Smith, Doug Schreiber, Steve Maver and Donny Markus had consecutive hits to jump start the inning. When the dust settled Those Guys scored 8 runs in the second to jump ahead by 7 runs. Steve Maver led the way with 5 hits on the night. Dicky Barnes, Jim Novak and Ben Knight each added 4 hits of their own. Donny Markus, Bryan Kouba and Ben Knight also added 4 RBI’s each. Jim Novak came in for an emergency start and pitched a gem, the defense behind him was a little shaky but there were no glaring errors that stand out as big inning mistakes. Jason Novak had the foul ball of the year last night, turning on the ball so much that he almost hit it directly into the opposing teams dugout, this ended up being a great strategy since the ball he hit was flat and didn’t have anymore pop in it. Doug Schreiber did his best Incredible Hulk impression mashing a long out over the fence for his first HR/O in the stat book. Those Guys look to keep the hitting alive next week against the GoGettas in a 7:30 matchup.
