This Team is For Real

Well, you can put another win in the books for Heads Up. I think we have the potential to give this league a run for their money or trophy that is. Heads up came out of the gates a little slow. That has been a regular scenario for this team. We are slow starting, but about the third inning we turn the bats loose.

Defense wins games. Heads Up has by far one of the top defenses in the league. We are only allowing an average of 9 runs a game. Now in softball, that is pretty good. We will need to see this defense improve just a little in the up and coming weeks due to the tough part of our schedule coming around the corner.

This week we start our two-game-a-week schedule. We will be playing on Tuesday and Thursday due to Hurricane Katrina. Man did she screw up everything. Any way, for the next three weeks, depending on the weather, we will play two games a week. This makes the whole team happy. There will be no more week long waits while we all get out of our game mindset.

The player of last nights game would definitely have to be Jeff's dad's bat. That's right, the bat. Jeff McNeece brought his dad's bat out of retirement to lead our team to victory. Everyone wanted to use it. The legend says that about 25 years ago, Jeff's dad used to hit two home runs a night. I don't know if it is true, but it sure does have a large sweet spot. That's why the game ball goes to Jeff's Dad's bat.

The final score of last nights game was 14-7. Heads Up had control of the game the whole way through. Jackson Express picked up some better players from other teams to help them out a little, but it still didn't work. Tuesday is one of the first big games we have. Windham and Lacy are coming in with a record of 4-2. They are coming off of a disturbing lose to Miskelly's. They played well, but still lost by 12 runs. I think we can take them. We have the hitting ability and definitely the defense to prevail in this game.

MY PREDICTIONS:

HEADS UP 17 Windham and Lacy 12

We are now in a tie for second place. I believe this game will decide if we actually have a chance to win this league. I'm Out.
