DBacks Split With 'Pack in Typical FMBA Double-Header

Game 1

Dbacks start lefty Riley Schaaf vs. the heavily-laden lefty lineup of the Wolfpack.  This strategy worked wonders, as he held the 'Pack to one hit over 5 shutout innings before leaving to "help shape the youth of tomorrow".

After Schaaf's departure, Jordan Wong was tasked with closing it out.  The 'Pack feasted on the righty, putting up 3 runs including a bomb.  Wong was diagnosed with a mild case of whiplash and sent to the hospital for a neck brace.

Wong did, however, go 2-4 with 2 runs scored and an RBI and 2 stolen bases.  So that's nice.

JB had a big game at the dish as well, launching a no-doubter off the fence for a double.  Gerwing barely scored because Gerwing.

Matt Zanutto got the start at SS, and only made one error, which is a season low for the DBacks.  Well done, Matt.

Carlos Charmell hasn't been sleeping much lately because of the new baby and went into full Rage Mode on his helmet and the back of the dugout.  Two 'Pack players asked if they could watch Game 2 from our dugout.

Dbacks win 8-3.

MVP: Schaaf
VAG: Gerwing, for almost getting thrown out at the dish on JB's fence ball.

Game 2

Since Schaaf did so well in game 1 the DBacks decided to start another hard-throwing lefty, Alex Regan.

Unfortunately, the DBacks defence decided Regan needed a high pitch count by booting the ball all over the yard.  Most notably was the all-catcher-left-side-of-the-infield strategy, which will not be employed in future games.

We lost 11-1.

Post game BackPack celebrations were in full force. Boot got even more work. Many beers consumed.  Boot was lost.

MVP: Wong (2-3)
VAG: Shippit, for getting backdoored at two after hitting a leadoff double.
