Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 8 Summary
Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 8
DPH: 27
Glenmont Beverage: 6
7/12/09, Sunday, 4:00 PM @ Field of Dreams
The Pirates subject their feeble foes to a floggin' and dispense of them with an alacrity usually reserved for slugging cheap grog.
Many games have instances of tension that determine the final outcome. This game was devoid of such drama when the Hookers bombed Glenmont with 22 runs across the first 3 innings. The Pirates' cannoneers were so merciless, they sent seven to the plate in the second without recording an out; their command was such that Glenmont derided themselves with a mock cheer when they induced the first out of the inning. Further, every Hooker scored at least once, drove in at least one run, and reached base by hit or walk at least twice. When the smoke cleared, the Pirates reached base at a rate of 0.688, averaged one base per at bat, and ultimately bombarded Glenmont with 27 runs in 5 innings of a mercy rule shortened game.
The Hookers staunch pitching and defense limited their opponents offense to a scant 6 runs. Before the game started, Glenmont Beverage maintained a firm grip on third place in their division with a +20 run differential. After the devastating defeat, their grip was more tenuous as their differential plummeted to -1.
The Hookers now face an excessively long 2+ week break before battling Justice League on Tuesday, July 28 at Fireman's Field. "I don't like long layoffs..." said manager John C, "...but it's on us to maintain focus and intensity with no excuses."
