Game 6: The Seashells put out the (Prairie) Fire

Category: 2008,Injuries,post-game,Three Seashells – Author: miles – 2:12 pm

Wednesday night was a solid effort against a team with some weapons. Nothing flashy except pounding singles and doubles throughout the order. Paul made a nice double play relay throw at 2B and Molly played a solid SS for the first time this year. Lis had her first hit of the year and Eve made a daring slide at home, during which she yet again opened her elbow wound that will likely linger for the entire season. After a tough 0-3 against Topco, I (Miles) bounced back with a good 3-4 day at the plate.

Game 5: Coming out on Top of Topco 11-5

Category: 2008,post-game,Site related,Three Seashells – Author: miles – 2:32 pm

Ahhh, that’s more like it..

After an ugly performance against the Swinging Shillelaghs, the Seashells bounce back for their second win of the season, 11-5 versus TopCo.

Hitting stars of the day include CF Lee Greenberg, 3B/SS Matt Stankiewicz (who Lee admitted is “hitting the cover off of the ball”) and a strong one hit, one walk performance from 2B Lancy Norris who becomes more dependable at the plate with every game. (more…)

Game 4: a swing and a big miss

Category: 2008,post-game,Three Seashells – Author: miles – 5:15 pm

Well that sucked.

Final score, 1-11 with the shame of walking off the field mid-inning due to the slaughter rule thrown in. I have video and pictures from the game, which I’ll post in the coming days.

Our big problems were shaky hands fielding balls off the bat, some tough drops/wayward throws on the infield and, obviously, walks which led to 7 of their 11 runs.

Offensively, i don’t have the exact stats but (more…)

Game 3: Closers can’t keep it any closer

Category: 2008,post-game,Three Seashells – Author: miles – 1:39 pm

It was a good second game for the Seashells, as the offense came alive with a 19 run outpouring, compliments of a big 6th inning. That big inning, which featured home runs by Lee Greenberg and Matt Stankiewicz, put a game far out of reach which had been too close for the talent differential.

Game 2: Shells fall behind, scratch back to tie in 6 inning affair

Category: 2008,post-game,Three Seashells – Author: miles – 2:44 pm

Well, that was an interesting start to the season.

The first oppenent turned out to be Ski Unit, a team Spawn of Belvedere slaughtered en route to the 2007 Fall League championship. The mood of the Shells appeared as jovial as any team coming off of a championship should be, but things would soon change in the bottom of the first.
