As the summer heat has begun to infiltrate the northern Virginia landscape, the Basher bats are starting to finally come out of their own winter hibernation. They swept Jay's Saloon on Wednesday night by scores of 11-6 and 18-6 to extend their winning streak to 6 and remain unbeaten in their last 7, a streak that has seen them score double-digits in each game.
In the opener, the Bashers gave up 3 quick runs in the top of the first. In their own half, however, the Basehrs scored 3 times as well thanks to 5 singles in the inning. The teams would each score twice in the third to make it 5-5. With it 6-5 going into the bottom of the fourth, the Bashers put their mark on the game, scoring 6 times. They were sparked by a 3-run home run by Tommy, his third of the regular season. That would conclude the scoring, as the Bashers went to 6-4-1 with the victory.
Game two was over as a contest before it started. The Bashers sent all 12 to the plate in the top of the first, scoring 8. The first 10 men to the plate reached base, topped by Tab's three-run home run (2nd of regular season) and a 2-run triple by Dave. The Bashers would put up 3 in the top of the second, including the first of Glen's home runs, a two run shot. With 4 in the bottom of the second by Jay's Saloon it was 11-6 Bashers. The Bashers tacked on another run in the 4th, and five more in the top of the 6th, all with 2 outs. The 6th was capped by Glen's second home run of the game (4th of the regular season), this one a three-run shot. Meanwhile, Chris was masterful on the mound, shutting out Jay's Saloon in the final four frames to gain his 7th victory of the season.
The bats were led by Tommy, who was 6 for 7 over the 2 games with 4 extra-base hits and a game-high 6 runs scored. Dean went 5 for 7 with 5 runs scored and 3 doubles, while Tab was 4 for 6 with 7 runs batted in and Glen drove home 6.

The Bashers finished their spring season at Virginia Highlands a perfect 6-0. They will finish the season with 3 straight doubleheaders at Barcroft starting on June 6th at 6:30pm against their arch-rivals, the Bad News Beers. Come out and support your Bashers as they look for revenge against the team that eliminated them from the Early Bird Tournament.
