Game seven: Ducks 2 Owls 17

My American Legion coach once called my team a "disgrace to veterans", that's about how it feels after this loss. The Ducks (2-4-1) have been blown out before, but never in this fashion. The game was called with one out in the bottom of the third, and the Owls won by the seldom enforced, 15-run mercy rule.
The Ducks lead 2-0 in the top of the first, after Mark Guthrie Doubled in Gwin, advanced to third on a ground out, and then scored on a wild pitch. The Ducks proceeded to surrender 17 unanswered runs, maybe five or six of which were earned.
The Owls like to bunt, there were at least six bunts in the first two innings.
They squeezed with an eight run lead.
If I saw our team take infield practice before the game, I would have bunted all day as well.
The Ducks played without five starters.
The next Ducks, Owls game will be different.

South Oakland plays the Matadors tomorrow at 9pm, at Spring View Field.
