Dirty Buc Ho's: Game 1 Summary

Midnight Cowboys: 2
Dirty Buc Ho's: 9
5/11, Sun @ FoD

The Dirty Buc Ho's won their season opener in typical fashion led by dominant pitching and timely, explosive hitting. The Midnight Cowboys were never given a chance as the Buc Ho's received a dominant start by Mark E and stifling relief by ace closer Ben Ho. Mark E scattered 6 hits over 4 innings while giving up 2 runs and Ben Ho gave up 1 hit over 3 innings while striking out 3. Two Cowboys choked on jerky as they were caught looking at strike 3. "I was just pitching to the strike zone...I noticed it was elevated. I worked in my floater and kept them from sitting on the knuckler. I was surprised with the 3 K's..." said Ben Ho. When asked for his thoughts, John C added "Great pitching from the get go...our offense needed the help...it was flat all game."

Although the offense was flat, Ben Ho, Kim F, and Mark M provided more than enough to bolster the staunch pitching to lift the Buc Ho's over the Cowboys. Mark M had a huge day going 3-3 with a 2B, 3B, HR and 5 RBI. The resurgent Deryl B also added another perfect day at the plate with a 1B and a 2B. "A couple big players had off days...once they get going we'll be fine..." added John C. If he's right, the Buc Ho's will be a Sunday League juggernaut once again.

The Dirty Buc Ho's second game is: 5/18, Sun, 5:00P @ Field of Dreams. DBH @ Sandell

Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 2 Summary

Dirty Pirate Hookers: 10
Shamrock Roofing/Siding: 11
5/9, Fri @ Ridge Field #2

The Dirty Pirate Hookers were flat for their second game and lost a tough one Friday night 11-10. John C started for the DPH and quickly worked around an early error while dominating the Roofers through the first 2 innings. 3 errors in the 3rd and another in the 4th doomed the Hookers allowing the Roofers to score 8 runs, 4 of which were earned. The errors were compounded by a lack of offense on the part of the Pirates through the first 4 innings when they scored only 3 runs. The Pirates managed to tighten their defense for the remainder of the game and allowed only 3 more runs the rest of the way. Despite an 8-3 deficit, the Hookers refused to succumb and made a late innings 7 run charge. The Roofers, however, scored just enough to maintain a tie until they could pull the game out in the bottom of the 7th.

During his post game interview, John C had this to say about the game: "We didn't deserve to win...you play defense like that and you should lose. Honestly, even with the errors we had a chance to win it and a big part of the blame is on me...against that team we should score more than 10 runs. My 0-3 with an embarrassing K really hurt us. Despite the loss I was proud of the team for the late run. We never gave up. As the manager that's all you can ask. As the pitcher...well, I suppose you could ask for better defense... Right now, we just need to go out, have fun, and kick someone's ass..."

The Hookers play another tough team this Tuesday, 5/13, 6:00P, Firemen's Field: DPH @ Poppy's Place

Sunday League Announcement

NOTE: The league has reconsidered and plans on expanding the Sunday League schedule from the current 7 regular season games. Details will be provided as soon as information becomes available.

Information regarding the Sunday League has been released. As of now, only Week 1 games have been scheduled. I could paraphrase, but here it is from the commish:

"Each team will play 7 regular season games and all teams will make the playoffs. No team will play less than 8 games and no more than 11 games. Each day will have it's own separate championship. Player's may play in the Saturday and Sunday league but not two teams in any one day. FREE beer & softballs will be included in your...Team registration fee....The complete schedule will be released later in the week. Softballs, scorebooks and line-up cards can be picked up at the FOD concession stand on game day. Our rain-out hotline will be at 8:00am (427-8414) Saturday and Sunday. "

So there it is, it's a 7 game season and an all inclusive single game elimination playoff--the same as last year. Week one games are scheduled at Field of Dreams, I'm not sure if that will be the case for the remainder of the games.

For the Sunday League, the Dirty Pirate Hookers will be known as the Dirty Buc Ho's. Our first game is May 11, 3:30P against the Midnight Cowboys.
