GAMES OF 10/31-- FREDS VS MARVINS

Freds 11, Marvins 7
The Marvins had early leads of 3-0 and 5-3, but the Freds scored 5 times in the bottom of the 4th to open an insurmountable lead. The Marvins did succeed in making it nearly impossible for the opposing fielders to tell who was batting. Ken Walker was 2-for-3 with 3 RBI for the Freds, Josh Balsam drove in the go-ahead run, and Jeff Appell picked up his 7th win and lowered his ERA to 2.71.

Freds 4, Marvins 3
In the bottom of the 7th, the Marvins loaded the bases with no one out and a run already in. However, Jim O'Connor (12-8) induced Tony Connor to pop out, and then Havelock Hewes lined into a double play, as Freds SS Ian Parfrey made a diving stop and then doubled Alex Rodriguez off of second. The game was a pitchers' duel all the way, with Jim O'Connor scoring the go-ahead run on a dropped fly ball in the 5th inning.

Freds 4, Marvins 2 (5 innings)
Laura Stoeth (7-9) picked up her first win since July 11, allowing 4 hits and 1 earned run. The Freds scored all of their runs with 2 outs in the 4th inning, starting with Ken Walker's solo bomb to deep center. Parfrey then doubled to left. Sam Magnus walked, Joe Geller singled to center for the go-ahead run, and Jeff Appell ripped a 2-run double to left for the final margin.

I have two things to add...
Since we usually name the teams by the starting pitchers we have a record in these reports of the wins and losses. This week we became The Fred's and The Marvins. so, for posterity, Appell beat Hewes in game 1. O'Connor beat Connor in game 2. Stoeth beat Nilva in game 3.
Also, early in game two, I (Havelock) was on first base and another runner was on third with two outs. Someone hit a line-drive to shallow centerfield which I, inexplicably, played half-way and I was thrown out at secondbase by the centerfielder, costing my team a run. So, it was with some vigor that I came to bat in the bottom of the seventh with the bases loaded and redemption 60 feet away. I have been experimenting with hitting for more power and a line-drive to the outfield would probably score two and make me the hero. I swung with all my might and I don't believe I have ever hit a ball as hard - a line-drive perfectly positioned between the thirdbaseman, Ken Walker, an shortstop Ian Parfrey. It was by Walker before he could offer at it. hat happened next was so fast that I did not actually see it. Somehow, Parfrey's body was launched at the missile and my redemption was intercepted.
