Playoff Game (quarter-final): Re-Entry vs. Brady Bunch
| inning: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Runs |
| Brady Bunch | 6 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 1 | 16 |
| Re-Entry | 0 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 10 |
In a rematch of the fall playoffs, Re-Entry came up short
once again as Brady Bunch earned a ticket to the semi-finals.
However, unlike the fall playoffs, Re-Entry didn't go down without a
fight. Despite being six runs down before their first at bats,
Re-Entry staged a spirited comeback. Omar jumpstarted the team
offense in the second inning with a two-run homerun.
When Andy hit a lined shot over
the center fielder's head with two runners aboard for a homerun to
tie the game at 9--9 all in the bottom of the 4th, the comeback
was complete. In the top of the 5th inning, Chris subbing for Howie
at shortstop made a scintillating over the shoulder (back to home
plate) catch of a flare (called a "Texas leaguer" when I was growing
up) in short left field to end the Brady Bunch threat and maintain the
tie score. In the bottom of the 5th inning, with the bases loaded and
one out, Eddie hit a hot ground ball up the middle. Our good friend
Rachel (the Brady Bunch shortstop) displayed her impressive range by
cutting off the ball before it reached center field and recording the
force-out at second base with an accurate throw. A run scored on the play and
suddenly Re-Entry had its first lead.
However, that was the last rally that Re-Entry could muster. Sadly, the
wheels came off in the top of the 6th inning. A few errant defensive
plays by Re-Entry opened up the floodgates, and Brady Bunch took full
advantage. They put up their second six spot of the game, and
Re-Entry was unable to recover. With no further clutch hits left in
the tank, Re-Entry suffered its first defeat in an otherwise perfect
season. Unfortunately, at this time of year, one defeat is all it
takes and your season is over.
Brady Bunch was clearly the most talented team that Re-Entry faced all
year. Nevertheless, apart from a few unfortunate glitches in the
field (which could have been avoided on a better day), Re-Entry
competed well and might have been able to pull this one out with a little
tighter defense and a few more timely hits. Nevertheless, we put a scare
into Brady Bunch (who had not been seriously challenged all season).
Being able to fight back from a six run deficit and take the lead
after five innings is something we can be proud of.
A few notable items concerning the quarter-final game not mentioned above. The
web gem belongs to Andy who chased down a line drive hit over his head
in center field and caught it on the dead run. Lilly at third base
had to deal with two screaming line drives ("seeds" as the Giant announcers
would call it). In both cases, she managed to get her glove on the
batted ball. But due to the ferocity of the line drives, in both cases the
ball bounced hard off her glove onto the ground. On the initial line drive,
Lilly was able to pick the ball up and throw the runner out at first.
She wasn't as fortunate on the second line drive, which was ruled a
hit by the official scorer. Nevertheless, she gets high marks for
courage under fire! Howie had three singles in three at bats (after
beating out an infield hit in his final at bat) to complete a perfect
7 for 7 playoff run and a 14 consecutive hit streak. Together with a
20 for 21 regular season, his final batting average of .964 sets an
all time Re-Entry season record. Kudos in part to our great team
pitchers, Eddie and Chris, who played critical roles in
providing hittable pitches for all of the Re-Entry hitters.
Playoff Game (round of 16): Re-Entry vs. Juiced Up
| inning: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Runs |
| Re-Entry | 2 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 13 |
| Juiced Up | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 11 |
In the first round of the spring 2011 playoffs, Re-Entry faced Juiced-Up,
the second place team from Division VIII. For the first five
innings, the Re-Entry bats were hot, with many well placed line
drives, resulting in a nine run lead. Re-Entry protected the lead with solid
defense, which included an inning ending 6 (unassisted)--3
double play with the bases loaded
to kill a Juiced Up rally in the third inning,
and a nice catch by Erica in right
field with runners on second and third to end another Juiced Up
threat. When Eddie slugged a line drive home run over the head of the
left fielder (just beating the relay throw from the outfield), the 13--4
lead seemed comfortable.
However, a controversial interference call later in the fifth inning
(turning a one out bases loaded situation into two outs with runners
on first and second) helped snuff out a potential Re-Entry rally.
After that, the Re-Entry hitting lost much of its sting, and an
opportunity was missed to put our opponents away. In addition, with
some shaky defense the final two innings, Re-Entry lead was suddenly
at risk. Juiced Up took full advantage, and to their credit pushed
across five runs in the bottom of the 6th inning. With runners on
second and third, Juiced Up was threatening to erase the earlier nine
run deficit. The next batter produced a short bunt-like hit, which
Laura fielded in front of home plate. With no chance to
gun down the runner at first base,
Laura noticed the runner from third heading home and
alertly returned to the plate to cut down the runner trying to score
for the third out of the inning. But, the game was still in the
balance when Juiced Up scored two more runs in the 7th inning and put
two runners on base when yours truly was unable to convert the final
ground ball out. In perhaps the most critical call of the game, the
next batter blooped a single to short center field that was called
back on a low pitch. On the very next pitch, the Juiced Up batter hit
a towering pop-up to the first baseman, and Rob squeezed the glove
with the third out, preserving the Re-Entry 13--11 win.
