Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 6 Summary
Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 6
Paychex: 3
DPH: 10
6/17/09, Wednesday, 6:00 PM @ Bishop Maginn
The Hookers embraced their reliable battle plan of crafty pitching, entrenched defense, and persistent offense to defeat Paychex for their 6th win of the season.
Before the game, GM John C made a roster move and called up Shane B to replace Steve F for the game. DPH issued the following statement: "Steve F has a personal matter to attend and is not available tonight." Team sources ruled out anything health related.
John C also volunteered additional information: "We have a few guys banged up with some lingering issues...myself included. We also had a player who could only play part of the game. Calling up Shane provided me with flexibility in case somebody had to come out. Preference is always given to call ups and it's my standing policy to play them the whole game. I trust my players to understand the situation." Shane B played center and left and batted 7th for the Hookers.
Paychex fired the opening salvo in the top of the first scoring a run on a couple of hits. The Pirates, unworried, launched an immediate response. Garry S led off with a single and the captain, Christina C, reached with assistance from the first baseman. With two on John C shot opposite field to score Garry. Colleen followed with a soft line drive to plate Christina. The Pirates scored their third run of the inning when Tahnee H bounced to short.
Paychex battled back in the 2nd scoring two to tie the game. Through the remaining 5 innings, pitcher Warren S, working with his battery mate Mike F, yielded no more runs. The Hooker defense refused to bend and committed only 1 error on a mis-thrown flip back to the pitcher.
The Pirates broke the tie in the 3rd when John C led off the inning with a walk and advanced to second on a two out walk by Tahnee H. Shane B plated John C with a bloop single to short center for the eventual winning run.
The Hookers fired for effect with 2 runs in the 5th and 4 more in the 6th. John C led off the 5th with a single and was forced out on a ground ball to third. Scott J punched a ground ball through the hole and a walk by Tahnee loaded the bases. With one down, Shane hit a fly ball to center that was misplayed by the rover scoring Colleen and Scott.
With one down in the 6th, Mike F initiated a four run rally by belting a ground ball through the hole. Four consecutive singles--including an RBI single by Christina and a 2 RBI line drive single by Colleen B scored three runs for the Hookers. Mike F scored on a throwing error by the left fielder.
In a slow pitch softball anomaly, the Hookers won the game without the benefit of an extra base hit. "It was a little odd..." said the manager, "....but it's just another way to win a ball game." When asked if the power outage was a problem, he added "No, it's nothing long term. It was a combination of nagging injuries and weather. A stiff wind blowing in from right negated our lefty power. We sprayed the ball around and exploited mistakes."
With the win, the Dirty Pirate Hookers' record stands at 6-0.
The Hookers play their arch rivals Café Hollywood, aka Underdogs, next Friday, June 26, 6:00P at Ridge Field. Manager John C refused to lend any emotion and labeled the event as "just another game."
