Ducks 11, Black Sox 0

2011 Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball

Batting in the ninth spot in the order, Rob Cool went 2 for 3 with 2HR and 7RBI, including a walk off grand slam, in one of the most impressive single game offensive performance in the wood bat era for South Oakland.

James Teyssier pitched a 2-hit shutout as the South Oakland Ducks of the North Side played an error-free game and beat the Brookline Black Sox 11-0 at Springview last night.

Baumgartel, Berdine, Fago and Gwin also drove in runs for the Ducks.

This marks the first time South Oakland has won the season series with the Black Sox, the first time the Ducks have ten-runned the Sox, and the first time South Oakland has shutout Brookline in consecutive games, both by Teyssier.

The Ducks wrap up the season series against the Black Sox again, Saturday July 16th at Moore Park.

***

Over the weekend, the Ducks defeated the Devils 3-0 at Pie Traynor.

Brendan Scioscia was 3 for 3 and James Fago drove in the winning run with a 2-run triple.

The Devils have the pitching to play in AA, and probably shouldn’t be playing down.

the Ducks have posted three straight shutouts and have allowed 2 runs in the last five games.

Elliot 2, Ducks 0

Ducks starter James Tessyier allowed one earned run through six, but South Oakland couldn’t score.

I’m pretty sure Elliot’s magic number is 1 to clinch the division.

If the Ducks can’t over take Elliot in the last 2 weeks of  the season, locking up the three seed and keeping ahead of the Black Sox going into the playoffs is important

The Ducks won the title as the five seed last season.

shit.

Mark Guthrie was one out away from a no hitter, before allowing 2 singles in the top of the fifth as the Ducks (12-3) beat the Senators 10-0.

South Oakland plays Elliot (14-1) Saturday, 6pm at Herschel Park

Depending on the outcome of last night’s Black Sox Elliot game (a rare contest in which neither team name ends in ‘s’) a share of first place could be on the line for the Ducks.

If the Sox won we will be one behind Elliot in the loss column going into saturday.

#17’s coming down from the rafters tonight

We have ten games left. Realistically, to win the division we have to win the rest of our games and have Elliot lose at least once. It’s possible they’ll drop one in their last nine or so. They have Brookline twice and two against the Militia and I think either of those teams could steal one from Elliot if they get good pitching and defense.

 I think Kenny Powers and Brookline win tomorrow.

 We have to win out. One game at a time starting tonight with another division opponent in the confusingly-named Express.

I have no idea what this picture is

Let’s quack tonight. Bounce Back City.

Ducks Lose 6-3 in Extra Innings

2011 Ducks Baseball

Jim Teyssier allowed 1 Er over 7 2/3 innings, but lost to Elliot pitcher, J.J. Barnes who earned the complete game victory.

The game was tied 1-1 after seven. The Ducks scored when a ball bounced over Elliot’s short stop. Elliot scored after a runner reached on an error, a sac bunt, and some guy singled with 2 outs to drive him in.

The Ducks had ten or so hits, but left guys on base. Baumgartel hit one off the wall in right in the fifth, and had an interesting line of 1-1, 2b, 2sac, bb.

So we went to extras and it didn’t go so well for South Oakland.

Elliot scored five runs in the top of the eighth: Wes White hit a solo home run with one out, and then four unearned runs happened.

The Ducks bounced back with 2 runs in the bottom of the eighth, but left the tying run on deck.

We’ll see ’em again.

With the loss, South Oakland falls to 10-3 and 4-2 in the Division. Elliot is still undefeated at 14-0 and 6-0 in the division. Now we have to root for the Black Sox to beat Elliot on Thursday.

We will take it out against the Express Wednsday.

Quack.

Ducks Win 10th Straight

2011 Ducks Baseball, Ducks win

The South Oakland Ducks of the North Side (10-2) defeated the Hebrew Oilers (2-10) 11-1 Saturday afternoon at Pie Traynor Field. Ducks pitcher and resident super hero, Mark Guthrie allowed 1 run through four innings on just 2 hits; he also hit a sweet RBI double. Fago struck out the side in the fifth.

The Ducks hit four triples on the day; two by Nick Berdine,  and one apiece by Tim Lipp and Anthony Defiippo. There might have been one more in there. The team slugging percentage skyrocketed and we hope to see our stats up soon on the league page.

Rick Whalen drove in a run with a sac fly in the 3rd, and 10 different Ducks had hits on the day.

South Oakland catcher, Jesse Smith threw out a runner trying to steal third in the first inning and had an RBI single.

Mike Duffy made several catches in centerfield, was hit by a pitch and singled twice for the Ducks.

The Ducks play undefeated, first place Elliot 9pm, Monday night at Springview Field.

StatDepot Registration

Uncategorized

Ok, I understand that it is a process and requires mastering the skill of 6 different computer languages, but everyone NEEDS to sign up on StatDepot for me to add stats. I have to go game-by-game so if all of you aren’t in there, I will not be putting up your stats thus far this season. If you have registered and your name is NOT on the roster on our NABA Team page, shoot either me or Ben a text so we know. Part of the process is on the other end with the Commish, so he may just be behind, but we will never know until you check it yourselves.

P.S. Batting practice before all home games at 7. Me included, we have not hit the ball well, especially at the top of our lineup. The bottom has carried us against some of the better pitchers in the league and most notably the last two games. If we can get enough people there then we can just field balls live off the bat and skip infield outfield and just focus on that.
