Things were looking promising for Coors Light when the opposition took the field with only seven fielders (later adding an 8^th) Monday Night.  However, Coors Light could not take advantage of the gaping holes in the defense; as they left an astounding 14 runners stranded (twice leaving the bases loaded).  The bitter defeat dropped Coors Light to 11-8 on the season, as they narrowly held on to 1^st place in the B division.

The offense was in a word, pathetic; managing only 2 walks, 6 extra base hits, and a .538 AVG on the night against the shorthanded defense.  The team simply would not/could not adjust their style to take advantage of the Moe’s three man infield (supplemented by perhaps the league’s worst fielding pitcher), recording a ridiculous 14 outs via the fly ball.  Smokey Wiener tried to lead by example; putting up another 4-4 night and improving his team leading OBP to .743 (52-70).  However, the Coors Light batters more often than not just did what they normally do.

Ichiro Robillard 1-5, RBI

Joe Nichols 4-5, 3 2B, 3B, 2RBI

Buff Robillard 1-2, 2 BB, SF, 3B, RBI

Jim Antonetti 2-4, SF, 2RBI

Scott Umbrianna 3-4, RBI

Bobby McCarthy 2-3, SF, 3B, RBI

Joe Voci 0-4, K

Smokey Wiener 4-4, RBI

John Powers 2-4

Pete Robillard 2-4

Captain Voci fell to 3-6 on the season, as he held Moe’s in check until the last two frames (when the Coors Light defense fell apart).

Coors Light (A/H) faces 3^rd place Central (8-11) in a twin bill Wednesday @7:45, as the team looks to put their most embarrassing defeat of the season behind them.
