The only constant is change.
Summerfest game 3: All good things must come to an end.
Game 3 was against the Oakdale Red Sox at 10am on a Saturday morning. The Red Sox lost to the Maplewood Muckdogs in the first round, putting them in the consolation bracket (like us), but on Friday night, they beat the Oakdale Phillies 26-2 while we were beating the Oakdale Cardinals by a more reasonable score.
The guys were tired after three days in a row of baseball, and they didn’t bring their best effort today. Alex started and pitched well, holding the Red Sox scoreless in the bottom of the first, but they got through for three runs in the second. We held them scoreless again in the third, but we couldn’t get runs. The Sox scored two more in the fourth to make it 5-0. We finally broke through and put a run on the board in the fifth, but the Sox came back with 5 more in the sixth, and it was pretty much over.
We’ll get ‘em next time.
Final score: 15-3 Red Sox
Tournament record: 1-2, eliminated in the third round.
