Annandale, Asylum Advance, Stephesville Slips

The Keepers broke out in Our League, winning five straight en route to an 8-4 record in yesterday's sim, while the Atom Smashers went 4-1, to take over the top spot. The Bears fell from first, going 3-6 to slide to .500. Asheboro, 6-4, Shasta, 5-3, and Waffletown, 4-3, were all on the plus side as the pack chasing pace setter Annadale tightened and grew.


Best of Today's Sim (BOTS)


The Battery Point Knuckleheads used a 14-hit attack, featuring six home runs, to edge Asylum, 10-9. The Keepers, who slugged three out themselves, came back from an early 8-2 deficit, tying the game on Joe DiMaggio's three-run blast in the top of the 9th. In the home half, Chris Speier and Gary Sheffield, who each belted a pair over the wall, used their legs instead. Speier, leading off, drew a four-pitch walk from Luis Arroyo. Hanley Ramirez singled him to second and Sheffield hit a bouncer to second that seemed destined to be a double-play, but he raced to first, beating Barry Larkin's relay throw by a half-step, sending Speier to third. George Springer delivered the winning run with a sac fly.


Aside to potential scribes: Your own submissions of BOTS, or any other commentary on Our League play are more than welcome. If we can get to a point where we have a half-dozen or so a day, maybe we could make it a separate thread. Thoughts? Takers?
