B.I.A. Redeems Itself With Two Wins

Balls In Action stayed perfect on Field #2 this season with two more wins last night.  Redemption from last week's loss to Fear My Spheres was on the team's mind as they took the field to stay in championship contention.

Playing first against Damnit Man, B.I.A. showed major improvements on defense as they backed up Scott on the mound by forcing them to go scoreless in their first three innings.  In the second inning, Scott's triple, followed by JT's line shot to third, would drive the game's first run.  In the fourth, Roy found himself chasing down Damnit Man's catcher, who was heading to second.  Unfortunately, as Roy pegged her with the ball from behind, the umpire ruled it illegal as it hit her head.  Roy voiced his opinion, but the ruling stood and she was allowed to advance to third base.  The next kicker would drive her home to tie the game at 1-1.  The bottom half of the same inning saw B.I.A. explode with three runs to take the lead once more as Jacob's double, a sacrifice fly by Stephanie, and hits by Steven, Laura, Laura V., and Ben proved to be more than enough to give the team a comfortable lead.  Solid defense for the last three innings would give B.I.A. the win with a 4-1 victory; their third victory over Damnit Man in four games overall.

Not wasting anytime in their next game, Balls In Action would score a season high six runs in the first inning  as Jacob, Stephanie, Steven, Ashley, Scott and Cindy would give the team six consecutive hits and 3 RKIs, setting up JT to drive in the remaining 3 runs that inning with a 3 run inside-the-park homerun.  B.I.A. kept Fly Kicks III scoreless for their first 3 innings, but in the fourth, a line drive to Stephanie would go between her legs, along with Roy commiting an error on the same line drive, resulting in the runner scoring from first for the only run scored that evening by Fly Kicks III.  B.I.A. wouldn't score again until the sixth as Steven's triple and 3 RKIs would stop the game at 11-1 due to the 10 run mercy rule. 

The two wins last night set-up another classic, yet crucial, showdown between B.I.A. and Fear My Spheres in two weeks, as one games still separates the two for first place.
