| G A M E S U M M A R Y Versus: SCRAMBLERS Monday, August 11 |
| GAME #1 DUFOUR: 5 SCRAMBLERS: 4 |
| GAME #2 DUFOUR: 2 SCRAMBLERS: 9 |
| �That was the best defensive game ever played by a Dufour team,� said #10, referring to game #1 against the Scramblers in which Dufour won 5-4. �That was the worst offensive game ever played by a Dufour team,� said #43, referring to game #2 against the Scramblers in which Dufour lost 9-2. This night tested the theory that defense wins games. Well, obviously not every game�.take that, New Jersey Devils. Indeed, game #1 was a showcase of defensive gems, highlighted by multiple diving catches from #24 in left, one running stab by #43 in right, a horizontal leap from #11 at short and a fantastic snag by #6 at third. All of these were much to the chagrin of the Scramblers who �oooed� and �ahhhed� at the amazing plays. On the other side, Dufour struggled BIG time at the plate. In 14 innings of baseball, Dufour managed to score only 7 runs. This normally is not enough to win even one game. Here�s some depressing numbers from the scoresheet (which had so many zeros even a very happy school girl would get tired filling in the happy faces � the zeros also prompt a memory of a famous quote from an unforgettable RJH teacher �That�s right nothing. And nothing from nothing leaves what Martin? Correct, nothing. Now, name on the board, under Becky�s�): only 5 batters had multiple-hit nights, 4 batters went hitless, the team combined for a total of 15 hits and a team average of .288. Kudos to #10 for going three for three. A two-week layoff could be to blame, but the bats must return by the start of September, or an early exit from the playoffs is possible. Bring the game for Saturday� #43 out. |
