A / E SOFTBALL LEAGUE 2011
TOWNES / BASKERVILL (1-3) VS. RK&K (?-?)
Editor’s Note: It has come to my attention that Olivia Newman was left off of the team roster in last week’s write-up. I apologize for this omission.
GAME 1: It was a good thing that we had Olivia last night too! With all the rain from Wednesday, field conditions were poor to say the least. Regardless, the Townes / Baskervill squad was able to reel in their first victory of the season by way of clutch hitting by TJ, solid pitching from Alex “Wild Thing” Vaughn and excellent Team Defense sparked by two double plays by Olivia. T / B jumped out to an early lead in the first inning and never looked back.
SCORE: Townes / Baskervill: 15 and RK&K: 10
GAME 2: This game was a low scoring affair early on with the score remaining tied 6 to 6 until the fourth inning. The top part of this inning saw RK&K go on a tear and rack up 7 runs. The T / B bats went cold in the bottom half of the inning and game ended without a miraculous comeback. We will save those for the playoffs.
SCORE: RK&K: 13 and Townes / Baskervill: 6
INJURY REPORT: Alan Davis suffered a leg muscle strain. You can probably still smell the Ben Gay today. Status: Day-to-day, but he’s expected to return for next week. No surprise here, but Jeff Taylor is nursing a large contusion on his left leg. Expect this guy to live on the injury report until he learns to use his glove to stop the softball. Status: Day-to-day, but he’s expected to make a full recovery for next week.
SHOUT-OUTS: Big props to the few fans that came out to watch the Townes / Baskervill squad play. We appreciate any support we can get. Nicole gets a shout out for being the best dressed softball player!
NEXT GAME: May 12th at 8:15 PM and 9:00 PM against WileyWilson
