Ducks Win

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA

South Oakland 7, Cranberry 3

Paul Emig (1-o-1) earned his first win as a Duck since 2007, allowing 2 runs over 4 innings, to help South Oakland (1-0, 2-4-2) open divisional play with a  7 – 3 win over Cranberry (0-1, 2-5).

Trailing 2-0 in the top of the fifth, Fetter led off the inning with a double, followed by four singles by Roberts, Emig, Ken Cool, and Gwin to put South Oakland up 3-2. With two out in the inning, Swartwout doubled in Ken Cool to give the Ducks a 4-2 lead.

In the Sixth Fetter singled to lead off the inning, and advanced to third on a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice (not sure in which order, the book is a mess). Fetter would score on an overthrow back to the pitcher.

In the seventh, Ken Cool and Gwin hit back to back singles to start the inning,  Ken Cool scored on Swartwout’s second double of the game, Gwin scored on an rbi groundout by Houseman.

In the bottom of the 6th, TJ Morgan and Houseman teamed up to throw a guy out at third attempting to stretch a double into a triple.

Fetter may have picked up a three-inning save, allowing 1 unearned run in relief. Not sure if that’s possible.

We really needed this one.

South Oakland will face the Black Sox wed night, 9pm at SpringView Field.

Ducks and the Sopranos

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball

I started  watching the Sopranos from the beginning a while back, and i’m on the second to last episode.

The Ducks did so much to add sympathy initially to Tony’s character. Very well done.

South Oakland opens division play at Cranberry, Sunday, 2pm.

Ducks Lose

Uncategorized

Ducks 10, Express 11 (6)

The plate ump was terrible for both sides. The game was called after 6 due to time expiring. 

This has been the weirdest start to a season i can remember. 

We still don’t know what we look like with our full lineup. 

Militia at home wed, 9pm.

Game Time Change

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball

Ducks at Express has been moved to 8pm Sunday.

How we respond in this game is going to dictate in a big way how the rest of our season goes. This is as important as a non-division game can be this early in the season.

The Express are tough this year. They played our friends in Imperial real close.

We’ve added some new players who will be there on Sunday night.

We’re either going to battle out of this, make the playoffs and have a run at the title, or we’re going to finish like 5 – 17-2, and most of us will never see each other again.

Quack.
