In the first game of our summer co-ed league single-elimination playoffs, Red Rock Pub pulled out one of the great all-time come-backs last night. Defense started out rocky, giving up 5 in the first and another 5 in the second. Offensively, our bats weren't weak, but the balls seemed to have a homing device for the opposing players, the runs were scarce. Just just barely sneaking in under the 12-run mercy rule, we entered the seventh down 16-5.
Then the sun came out (really, it did), angels sang (or was that Mary Jo cheering us on from the bench?), and a miracle occurred. Red Rock put up a 13 run seventh, 7 of those runs with 2 out, to put us up by 2. An outstanding defensive bottom of the seventh secured the win.
Man, it doesn't get much more fun than that!
