Men all hit the ball well and most of the women struck
out. They really struggled to find a pitcher who could throw
strikes.

11-5 The Sheep pulled in Nick and Kayne for this game, and they
helped the flock pull out a W. Despite a nice outfield circus act
mid way through the game, the Sheep stayed focused, cashed in on some
pitcher challenges and came up victorious. |

very few errors. They started hitting to RF in the second half of
the game.

12-18 Our opponents were on and we were not firing on all cylinders.
The Sheep made some costly errors in the field, and couldn't keep the
opponent hitters at bay in the late innings. It was close for a
while, but ended up in a 10 run elimination situation in the 6th inning. |

Diamond
Cutters
Their left
fielder guy was their big hitter - liked to go to LCF or up the
middle. 3B woman could hit very deep also. Pitcher liked to
keep it very flat and the ump was calling them strikes. They started
hitting to RF in the second half of the game.

Scott
and Dawn out We played with 10

5-22 It all fell apart in the 6th inning when we gave them about 6 outs
and 14 runs. The Sheep just couldn't bounce back. |

1 lefty guy #26 P can hit deep to right side but not very quick.
Very good LF #15 hits to left side. 1B guy pull hitter - not very deep.

the left side. 2 lefty women.

18-14. The Sheep had their best night at the plate this season and
batted a cumulative 605 to hand Regis their first loss of the
season. They were ahead by 5 after 3 innings, but we only gave them
1 run in the next 3 innings. We had a big 6th inning with 7
runs. The Sheep also played solid defense this game. |

shallow LF LCF. Goth to left side.

14-12. Our second big win in a row. Shenanigans had only lost
2 games so far and they were a great hitting team. Holding them to
only 12 runs was quite an accomplishment. The Rich - Dawn
combination in the infield accounted for many great putouts and we came up
with a couple big innings at the plate. |
