Game One - Crooked Numbers first round draft choice and pre-season ace, Hal Carlson couldn't get an out before 6 runs were scored and HAL pulled him for Bob Stanley. Stanley managed to get an out, but gave up another 6 runs before Ben Wade was brought in to "put out the fire." Wade somehow managed 6 innings, giving up another 11 runs. Final score 25-11!
Game 2 - Rip Coleman pitched into the fifth inning and only gave up 4 runs, Stanley lowered his era from 165.00 to only 40 something, by going a scoreless inning. Wade, who appears to be the early workhorse for the Crooked numbers was credited with a close game win (8-7) as Dan Osinski gets his first save.
Game 3 - Jack Harper gives up 12 runs in 3 1/3 innings and the Crooked numbers can't recover..losing by a score of 17-15.
Games were as expected..McDougald only hitting .214....is this a self fulfilling prophesy? I will give him more time, but how can you only be hitting .214 with pitching like this?
It was fun looking at the other boxscores. I don't usually do that. How did one series manage 3 games without a double digit final score?
