Once again the Falcons mostly took absent Grahambo's advice, only losing one inning on our way to a 23-13 Sunday evening victory.

Fresh off DC's kiddo's tournament victory Sunday afternoon, the senior Carter made it to Kelloryn park for the Falcons' second game of the evening, and unleashed a two run dinger and a three run tater on the Expos.

GAME NOTES: The Falcons put up a max 6 runs in the 3rd, where everyone came to bat in the inning... Is it a "bat-around" inning if everyone in the lineup hits exactly once? Or does someone have to hit twice?... John was able to outrun Krusty the Expos pitcher trying to kick a dribbler to first base for a single in the Falcons' 6 run 5th... The Falcons are currently in 2nd place overall, though Storm has 2 games in hand on us...

We managed to cobble together a 10 man lineup, with a couple lolly gaggers coming a litle late and getting thrown onto the bottom of the batting order.

The highlights were two Duncans from Kevin and Barry, and a max 6 run 4th inning. We tied after one, and never trailed, taking our absent Grahambo's advice as much as we could and won most of the innings. Falcons win 17-9.

GAME NOTES: Thanks to Beatty for arranging Falcons jerseys for Kevin and John.

In what has become a theme of late, and not exactly a welcome one, the Falcons played a tight game and came out on top with a 15-14 win over Coulas.

Six of the past eleven Falcons games have been decided by one run or less, so if you're not coming to watch you're missing out on some exciting ball. The team is 6-4-1 in those same eleven games. We fumble as much as we cross the goal line, is what I'm trying to say (seven weeks until football season!)

In this weeknight tilt against the struggling Bone Crushers -- who were rocking new uniforms for the first time since Obama was president -- the Falcons also displayed some previously unwanted Falcon behaviour: Not bothering to score early.

Coulas came to play, and showed it early. They plated 4 in the top of the first, and after holding that lead, and the Falcons, to two runs in the bottom of one, scored 5 more in the second. In response, the home side sent five men to the plate and couldn't squeeze a run across. After two, Coulas was up 9-2.

The visitors didn't quit either. They kept adding to the lead, scoring a run in the third and another in the fourth, while holding the league's #3 seed to only a single run in response. Going into the open inning Coulas was ahead 11-3, and the home fans were talking about selling.

For the unc's in the audience:

Selling (v): Sucking; being terrible. In this game, the Falcons were selling.

The fans were also talking about trading draft picks, and as it turns out they were talking about the Jays. That didn't stop the team from discussing a potential trade of Poutine involving draft picks, ie: maybe we could get someone to take him if we included some draft picks.

The momentum shifted in the fifth inning. Coulas put up their first doughnut of the night, and in the bottom half, the Falcon bats finally arrived. Speed Bump and Dunner both singled, and Three-League (trying something new here for John) knocked in a run with a double. Goliath followed with an RBI single, with Poutine matching. SLF sacrificed a run home for the first out of the inning, and Shohei got it back going with an RBI single. After a Taxman single, Glorious Dan doubled home a run, turning the lineup over. Speed Bump scored two more with his second single of the inning, and when it was all said and done the home side had plated eight runs to tie the game.

The Falcon defence got the meat of the Coulas order to go down without scoring in the top of the sixth, then the bats got going again to score four in the bottom of the sixth.

With a four-run cushion, the only thing left to determine was whether the Falcons would blow the whole lead, or win by one run. Coulas sent eight men to the plate, but could only score three of them to come up a run short.

GAME NOTES: Thanks once again to Glorious Dan for playing, making some fine put-outs behind the dish in addition to scoring a run and getting an RBI... Nine fans on a Wednesday night is pretty good... Three-league left his shoes at two-league, but didn't realize it until after the game... Shohei was Sho'ing off (HA!) some sweet pitching moves, striking out two and getting some wild swing-and-miss... For the second game in a row, we ran a guy out at 1B who doesn't usually play there. Where for art thou, Barry Guerrero Jr?

Let's go back in time a week, July 12, Falcons humming along in a Sunday nighter against the Crew, up 8 with one inning to play, should be easy, right? Wrong! We give up 8 runs and it's a tie. Surely nothing like that could come close to happening again a week later right?

It almost did! Up 15-8 bottom 7th, the wheels started to fall off, and we gave up 6, got a big out to squeak out the W at 15-14. A win's a win, right guys?!

GAME NOTES: We don't have nicknames for John or Kevin yet, do we?... Time-out arrived for this 9:30pm Sunday evening game, sending spare Dwayne and his delicious sunflower seeds home for the night... It was Arbour's turn to play his 2nd career game at 1B, and let's just say he wasn't exactly a natural...

After a 4 pitch leadoff walk and Duran bomb to open the game, it looked like it might be a long night. Alas, it was not! 2 runs was all the offence Storm could muster in the first.

Apart from a 3 spot in the 5th, Storm scored doughnuts or one run innings the rest of the way. The Falcons won or tied every inning, (making Grahambo proud) with a 5 spot in the 5th and a 4 spot in the 6th.

15-8 was your final for the good guys.

As Bill eloquently put it: "The write up is simple, we played short for 4 innings before Matt showed up. We shit the bed. Scoring 7 runs in 7 innings in slopitch never ends well."

GAME NOTES: We had the score 13-7, Greenthumb inputted it on the league site as 13-8... I have no idea why the write up title starts with "assignment"

The Falcons took care of weekday business with a 23-5 victory over Dan's Inglorious Batters on Wednesday night.

The Falcons scored in every inning. They also accumulated another $15 towards pizza thanks to Goliath (SR3B), Speed Bump (FK), and SLF (GIDP).

Blowout wins don't deserve long recaps.
