Playoffs Recaps

Game 1: After a strong first inning, in which the they scored 7 runs, the Turkeys could only muster four more in the last six innings in their 11-3 win over PT Green. Flawless defense was the recipe for success, but there was no contagious hitting to be found. Clearly an ominous sign for things to come.

Game 2: Alliance came at us with some momentum after they ten-runned the Dirty Grizzlies in the previous game. However, the Turkey defense was looking to stop them in their tracks. It was a pitcher's duel early on, as it was only 3-2 in favor of Alliance after five innings of play. In the top of the sixth, Alliance put four runs on the board when they strung together some singles. The Turkey offense continued its struggles as they did not put any more runs on the board. It was clearly the most frustrating defeat of the season and it left the Turkeys looking for answers. After a 7-2 playoff defeat, in which the Turkeys played another game of great defense, they realized they strongly miss Jake and the offensive spark he provides. However, look for the Turkeys to come back strong and charge through the losers' bracket. On Tuesday, we have a game at 7 versus the winner of D & D and the Silver Bullets. If we win, we play again at 8. If we win that, we play again at 9.
Don't count us out quite yet. When a Turkey is cornered, it will fight back with much ferocity.

Not to mention Monsieur Tom "Peavy ain't got nothing on this ole boy" B tossed 3 Ks throughout the night. Mixing the high heat with a devistating changeup, batters were kept guessing all night long.
