Game six: Ducks 7, Phantoms 3

The Ducks have finally started hitting. All but two South Oakland players recorded base hits, and the Ducks overwhelmed the undermanned Phantoms at Pie Traynor field, 7-3, to raise their record to 2-3-1.

For the second consecutive game, South Oakland's slow-starting offense has posted seven runs. Coach Jones knocked in his first RBI of the season, and Garrett Moore, Mark Guthrie, and Andrew McCray added extra base hits, to back up Guthrie's solid performance on the mound.
Guthrie (1-0-1)scattered six hits and surrendered two earned runs over five innings.
Nick Homa pitched two scoreless innings in relief for his first save of the season.

The Ducks travel to the Findlay Sports Complex. To play the expansion Owls today, at 3pm. A win would put the Ducks at .500 and move the team into 3rd place in the Monongahela division.
I know little about the Owls and nothing about the Findlay field.

The Owls (2-2) screeched past the Rebels 14-9, yesterday. Knowing the Rebels, I bet they set their rotation to have their ace going against the BlackSox today, still the Owls had 18 hits.
I found this on America's most reputable news source

Supposedly wise, Owls live in barns, and eat rodents.
Number 13 might be coming down from the rafters today, either way, it's gonna be bad news for the Owls.

Bullet points
  • Momentum, keep it going, build on it.
  • McCray hit a Gibsonian shot off the wall in center, 418 feet away
  • This was the most complete effort of the season
  • showing up is 80% of Pittsburgh NABA baseball
  • We still haven't had all our starters at a ganme at the same time, this has allowed coach Jones to get a look at everyone, and get everyone playing time.
  • Last game marked the end of Gwin's 108 consecutive games played streak.
  • the Monongahela Division is Log Jammin' right now, it's going to be a battle all season.
