The first game of the year is always tough, getting used to new players, knocking off the rust from the previous year, etc. etc. Those Guys started the year off with a punch in the teeth. Teeball Allstars dropped 13 runs in the first inning on Those Guys, which woke them up quick. Ben Knight got the scoring started in the first inning with a double. Mike Topper was a fill in pitcher for the game and after the first inning nerves settled down and allowed only 2 runs over the next 3 innings. Meanwhile Those Guys started hitting more, Juan Cisneros and Bill Moxley had 3 hits on the night and scored 4 runs between them. Bryan Kouba, Ben Knight, Donnie Markus and Tom Scott added 2 hits a piece. The wind played a major factor in the game as well, 3 Those Guys hitters and 1 Teeball Allstars hitter cracked one over the fence for a very long out. The defense put on a show for both sides as well, Teeball Allstars turned a double play and Those Guys turned one of the wildest triple plays ever! That’s right a TRIPLE PLAY!!! It all started with Bryan Kouba making a tip toe catch and then stepping on second to get the 2 outs, he then fired the ball to Mike Topper who caught the runner on third sleeping and off the bag. A brief discussion was had by the umpires and it was determined that no one called time on the field leaving it as a live play. The triple play stood and it was one of the coolest highlights this team has ever seen! In the end Those Guys couldn’t score enough and ended up losing 23-14 in 6 innings due to time running out. They look to bounce back next week at 8:30 pm against Moe Joes.
