Game 1 at the Stadium is a first for us. The Sharks were a Pool team, but John said they had some good players, and most importantly, some pitching.
But, the Sharks weren't very organized at the start of the game, and they pitched a volunteer. This isn't a good idea, in a Tournament, vs. a good team...Wow, we're finally playing. The feeling in my body is unique to Big game day, the only time I feel quite like this.
The day is foggy and cool, good baseball weather.
The tall hurler for the Sharks pitches from the stretch, kind of leaning back. He induced a pop up from "Mike" on his first or second pitch, and the game was on.
Grass took a couple of pitches from the righty, and with each pitch, the Shark pitcher looked more and more uncomfortable. Grass walked. So did Supe. That poor bastard walked 8 batters in that Hell of an inning, giving up 6 runs on 1 hit, a single by Ski (starting a week of torrid MVP hitting). The Nor'easters cruised on a Bullet 7 hitter.
Hit for Show...Pitch for Dough
Nor'easters 18, Sharks 5
