DBacks down Dukes on Pack The Park Night
Posted July 30, 2013
Well Pack The Park had a decent turnout as the DBacks brought the other half of their slo-pitch team out. An entire book on heckling was printed, with some absolute gems being tossed around the entire game. Beers were in full-effect.
Dbacks prospect Justin Bryant showed up to the game, albeit very confused and obviously concussed as he went to the opposing team's dugout and donned their jersey for the game. Management considered ear-holing him, but feared this would only worsen the obvious brain-damage he's sustained.
The baseball gods showed the DBacks were in the right, as the OF made 3 errors playing third base, prompting several "Cinderella gets to the ball faster than you"-like heckles from the DBacks-Nation.
Looking to rebound from his last start vs. the Longhorns, Ryan Saunders proceeded to mow down Dukes hitters, throwing a 2-hitter with 5 Ks. His pitching performance was best described as "Nuke LaLoosh from the 2nd half of Bull Durham".
In the 7th, Kennedy decides to sub out AJ Fystro for an AB for himself, prompting management to issue a suicide watch for the vertically-challenged 3rd baseman.
Rookie boot-tosser Ben Callaghan gets a warning from Mr. No-Fun-Allowed umpire for his first boot toss on JB's error. Management would like to see a little more effort next time by running to the 3rd-base side and tossing it right next to the player. But there will be plenty of time for practice if we end up playing the Cards in the playoffs. #Chico #E6
Post-game, the entire DBacks squad proceeded to be struck out by Div 2 fastpitch allstar Kaitlyn. Management has forwarded her contact information on to the Dukes to help with their pitching staff.
MVP - Saunders IMDB - AJ Fystro for pouting after not getting a 4th AB, and Kennedy for pulling Fystro and striking out
