Sweep-less

What've you gotta do to get a sweep around here?  For the third time in this young season the Sox did all

the hard work by winning the A game in the morning, only to

lose the B game in the afternoon.   I suppose I should be

thankful, the last B game against the Mariners was a 36-26

marathon and I thought we might have to call it for nightfall;

this time we got it all done in less than 2 hours.   An

improvement of sorts!  All credit to the Mariners B squad

though; the Sox had a very...Read On

Sloppy Thirds

Coming off our recent A level defeat to the reigning

champions, Spartans, it was refreshing to see the Sox show

up with a purpose today.  At one point the coach was worried

that we would leave all the plays in the warm-up we were so

good.  Apart from the aforementioned third inning though, he

was wrong. The Sox put on a thoroughly professional display

and beat the Hurricanes with something to spare.

Leading by a run in the first, it was the Hurricanes who started

that third inning by giving up 5 on mostly mistakes...Read On

Sox Move To 3 and 0

Another dominating performance by the Sox and we start the 2007 Irish season at 3 and 0.  There has

been no let up in the run scoring department; coming off the back of 16 and 18 run efforts; now add 26 to

that line.  Final score, 26 to 7.

The scoreline I suppose is a little misleading as it wasn't all one-way, especially early, and 20 of those 26

runs were scored in 2 innings, 8 in the third and 12 in the last.  Niall showed some true grit too early on

when not everything was going his way but he battled and got the job done.  He settled down quickly after

that and should have finished the game with just the 2 runs scored against him, but...Read On

One Hit Wonder-ful

The Sox today continued to gain momentum in the 2007 Irish Baseball season with an emphatic 18 to zero

win against the Twins.  Niall Rowan, making his first season start threw a stellar one-hit game.  He

displayed that dominance with 13 K's.  In fact, prior to the lone hit... Read On

NFL type Scores, Extra

Innings and Points Shared

The Sox opened the 2007 Irish

Baseball season against the

Greystones Mariners today and

helped add some footnotes to Irish

Baseball history with a few new

records.   At least I think they are

records, keeping stats is not the

league strong point so I guess

you'll have to prove me wrong.

In two games, both an A and B

level game, a total of 85 (eighty

five) runs were scored.  That's

record number one, most runs

scored in a single game day in one venue.   The B game in the afternoon had a final score of 36 to 26...
