Game Summary

• Originally scheduled for July 20th, 2023 at 9:15 p.m.
• Game #21, played at Memorial #1.
• The Flaming Moe's may have taken inspiration from the Blue Jays on this night, squandering a good defensive effort and only scoring runs with home runs.
• The Flaming Moe's did not score in the first 3 innings but, fortunately, only allowed 3 runs in the top of the 2nd inning and were only down 3-0 after 3 innings.
• The teams each scored a run in the 4th inning and neither team scored in the 5th nor 6th inning.
• The opponents scored 3 runs in the top of the 7th inning to extend their lead to 7-1.
• The Flaming Moe's scored their second run of the game in the bottom of the 7th inning with a solo home run by #5 Mike Frank (2nd of the season).
• A 2-run top of the 8th and final inning meant the Flaming Moe's were down 9-2 heading into their last at bat.
• A lead-off home run by #39 Brandon MacKay (1st of the season) made the score 9-3 with two of three Flaming Moe's runs via the home run.
• An additional 2 runs were scored in the bottom of the 8th inning (2 RBI 2 out base hit by #17 Theresa Brooks) as the Flaming Moe's came up short, losing 9-5.
• The loss drops the Flaming Moe's record against lower division opponents to 6-2 and overall record to 6-16, snapping a 4 game winning streak.

Scoring Notes:

• 8 inning game.
• The Flaming Moe's hit into 2 fielder's choices for an actual batting average of 0.439
• Twice, the same male hitter for the opponents tried turning a single into a double and was tagged out at 2nd base, including once in the throat. That same batter did the same thing a third time suffering a leg injury rounding first base, slamming to the ground. The only reason to note this is because that batter was allowed to be removed from the line-up with injury.
