The Solid Gold Hits needed a dramatic last inning rally to down the mighty Bulldogs 9-4 Tuesday night.
Down for most of the game, the Hits entered the final inning down 4-2 when Lisa legged out an infield single and Game Ball winner, Brett, brought her home with a 2-run home run to tie.
The Bulldogs left the door open for the Hits' last inning heroics by playing like big sissies. In the second to last inning, they attempted to "run out the clock" by walking slowly up to the plate and taking a bunch of pitches, but this plan backfired as they just ended up striking out and making fools of themselves. Then, after Brett's game-tying homer, with two outs and a runner on first, the sissy Bulldogs got the bright idea to intentionally walk Dustin so that they could pitch to a girl (Jessica) instead. This was one of your all-time backfires since they didn't know the rule that states if you walk a guy with 2 outs then the girl who is up next can decide if she wants to bat or simply take first base. Jessica simply took first base, Chris N. came up with the bases loaded and the rout was on. Way to know your rules, Bulldogs.

The Hits had spectacular performances right on down the line. Chris N. pitched another masterful game, Amber caught everything that was thrown her way at first base, all the outfielders made great plays, everybody made contact at the plate and many people were unselfish enough (with our surplus of players last night) to volunteer to sit out a few innings.
It was beautiful and it put the Hits into first place with one game remaining. We'll need to defeat the Luck Dragons next week to secure the league championship, but for now let's enjoy celebratory breakfast pizza.
Hooray!

The runs pour in.
The bench goes crazy! 
Victory is secured!
