Softball Week 3 recap

Davie, FL -

Team Beef O' Oren (1-2) proved once again to be paper tigers dropping a heartbreaking decision to Team Mongolian Giraffe, formerly known as Team Has Been, by the count of 19-11 in a time shortened contest that only went 5 innings.

Team Oren has just about as much talent as any team in the league, if not more, but have been unable to put it all together for sixty minutes. This week they were singled, walked, and errored to death by the patient, more experienced hitters of Team Mongolian Giraffe.

Despite the loss there were still plenty of bright spots for Team Beef O' Oren as Seth, T, Camille, and Oren all chipped in 3 hits with Aaron and Brian adding 2 a piece. But the brightest spot of all had to be the way the team fought back after digging an early hole. Trailing 6-0 after one inning and 11-2 after 2, Team Oren battled back to within 12-9 on the strength of a seven run rally in the bottom of the 3rd inning.

That rally was started by Craig and featured a rbi single by Seth, a 2 run single by Brian, a run producing single by Camille, and a 2 run 'triple' by Aaron. It was finally topped off by KFED with an rbi groundout.

However, Team Oren was unable to capatilize on the momentum swing quickly falling behind again by double digits before they knew what hit them. All in all, a disappointing loss for a team that should be 3-0. With a week off between games though expect them to practice hard and work out their kinks before they return to the field in 2 weeks.
