The Miskicks vs. Bender Rehab

The Miskicks came to the plate this week with a W in their sights. The first inning started with Bender Rehab at the plate, who quickly pulled in two runs. The Miskicks sent Cristina, Matt and James to the plate to pull in two runs and keep things tied. Two is never enough for us, so Steve and Brett stepped up to the plate and brought our run total to four! Bender Rehab was hot on our tail in the 2nd inning, scoring a third run, but the Miskicks held them there with supreme defensive skills. Jordan lead off the bottom of the 2nd but was soon benched with an leg injury! Kevin stepped while Jordan recuperated with a carbonated beverage not to be named, and quickly got on first. Sarah kicked next and Trendy ended the inning with a pop up. Bender Rehab came back in the top of the third to make two more runs and put the game at 5-4, Bender's advantage. The Miskicks replied by sending a run through in the bottom of the third, tying things up at 5-5. It was announced that the fourth inning would be our final inning and we entered the fourth on a tie game of 5-5.

They say it's always darkest before the dawn. And things had been dark for the Miskicks, like halfway through the season without a win dark.  But things change. And the sun always comes up. 

It was a tense fourth inning. Bender Rehab took the plate first, and The Miskicks stepped up their defense BIG TIME. The win was so close we could taste it. Sarah's shin stopped a ball, and all star Miskicker, Brett, made an amazing catch and throw to out a Bender and prevent them from scoring in 4th. We took the plate knowing that all we needed to secure our first win of the season was one. more. run.

And then we got it! I don't remember who got it, I was too busy screaming. A 6-5 game and The Miskicks finally have their W, against Bender Rehab. Watch out everyone, we are coming for you now!
