The umpires mulled leaving at 3:15, and a glassy-eyed malaise consumed the Ducks dugout. When the Owlz were certain to have enough players to field a team, the game limped to a start. South Oakland's pitchers had trouble throwing strikes early.
The Owlz scored three in the first. James Faygo, hit a two-run double to the gap in left center. Ryan Novak cut down, Rob Kool at the plate and the Ducks escaped the top of the first inning trailing by three runs.
Garret Moore, and Ben Gwin opened bottom of the first with back to back singles for the Ducks, Jesse Smith walked to load the bases with no outs. The Ducks would only score two in the inning on Andrew McCray's double to right. A wasted opportunity, on a day when they would be scarce.
The Owlz scored two more in the second, and one in the third. The Ducks answered with a run in the bottom of the third when Garrett Moore scored on Jesse Smith's sacrifice fly, to make the score 6-3 Owlz.
The Owlz took a 9-3 lead into the bottom of the fifth, helped by more walks, and an RBI triple by their center fielder. Les Geis lead off the fifth inning with a single up the middle, and A.Smith turned on a fastball, but unfortunately it went right at the third baseman, for a back breaking 5-4-3 double play. He hit it so hard, that the second baseman had time to triple pump before throwing him out at first. Eric Lee hit a double to right, but Moore flew out to deep center to end the threat.
In came Dunn, and the Ducks would not record another hit.
The Owlz ran up the score by adding one run in the sixth and another in the seventh.

we were due for this guy

*I'm not into predictions, but we control our own destiny, and our pitching rotation is set, set to Kill.
2 rbi today
2 rbi today- BULLET POINTZ
- We didn't show up today, but it's not as if Saturday night didn't exist for the Owlz. We will lose games if half the team can't see straight.
- E.Lee is heating up, watch out.
- Fago can't get out.
- I'm not writing any positives about our pitching anymore, clearly I jinxed everything two posts ago.
- Garret Moore is revolutionizing base running. He did not maliciously run that kid over, but he looked like a pulling guard going after a defensive back out there.
- Dunn has filthy stuff.
- Moore reached base twice from the lead off spot today, happy birthday, old man.
- on a positive note, we turned a sweet double play, but overall the defense was poor.
- From what I could gather at first base, the Owlz are good guyz. Thankz for reading and good luck the rest of the way.
