I thought I had the "log" turned on, but it turned out I didn't
Oh well, I have it turned on now....This is how the actual game went though...I actually was cheering for Eastmoor...and it really shocked me when Bailey hit that 2-run game winning homer...wow....that was cool...
Just a question, are we still able to post the box scores on here? And if so, how do you do that?
Game 2 will either be later tonite, or more likely tomorrow morning....man, this was a great game for the 1st ever HBL World Series....
Next game will have Robert "Danny'Boy" Daniels (for the Warriors) vs. Kyle Hagerman (for the Whippets).
Shelby's Hagerman went 9-14, with a 5.41 ERA and a WHIP of 1.79.
Eastmoors Daniels went 12-11, with an ERA of 3.05, and a WHIP of 1.14 and had 2 Shutouts...and struck out 176 batters.
