Human Formula 1 car Dr J led the Falcons offence to their highest output thus far in 2023, resetting the Two Triples in One Inning Watch counter when he hit his first two career three-baggers during a 13-run fifth inning on the way to a 31-15 win over President's Division rival Broadway.

Note to Mrs J: It really happened.

With Broadway locked into the 2-seed going into the WMSPL's playoff tournament, the loss didn't affect their season in any meaningful way.

The fifth began with Dunner's second of four doubles (!) on the day. After Barry Guerrero popped out to left for the first out of the inning, a single by Beatty moved Dunner to third. Dunner then scored on Poutine's sacrifice fly, and after four batters, there were two out. That's when Dr J shifted the Falcons offence into "third" gear. Dr J cashed a heaving Beatty on a solid legit triple to dead centre, and it should be remembered for all eternity that with Beatty sitting on first, and J at the plate, they both covered three bases on the same hit. Million Dollar Bill started a string of five straight singles that ended when Dunner hit his second double of the inning and his third of the day. Barry Guerrero Jr doubled, Beatty singled and mercifully got a courtesy runner. Poutine moved SLF, running for Beatty, to third on a single to set the stage for what's probably the seventh- or eighth-greatest Falcons highlight of all time (you can debate amongst yourselves what one through six would be). Dr J, a sixth-year Falcon who just a few minutes prior had notched his very first ever triple, DID IT AGAIN. Movies will be made based around the moment (probably some kind of precursor to the apocalypse, but still!) Dr J's second triple of the inning cashed SLF for Beatty and Poutine. He then scored on Million Dollar Bill's single to cap off the Falcons' twelve-runs-after-the-second-out fifth inning.

Broadway scored five to answer in the bottom of the fifth, and the teams traded delicious doughnuts in the sixth to end the game with the time limit looming.


Game Notes: With the win, the Falcons have now won 10 of their last 12, and 11 of their last 14 games... Perpetual offensive machine Beatty was only a triple shy of hitting for the cycle (wouldn't that be something?), and lets not forget what a player he is that his 6-RBI performance barely merits a mention... Worth mentioning: Pizzaco's 4 RBI... Triples in this game: Dr J - 2; the rest of the Falcons - 0... Dr J's two triples puts him only 47 behind soon-to-be-second-all-time SLF... Dr J was only a home run short of the cycle.
