Bashers Sweep That's What She Said, Extend Unbeaten Streak to 5

The Bashers used some late-inning heroics again on Wednesday night to twice rally for victories against That's What She Said (formerly Consolidated Construction) by scores of 13-5 and 16-15.

In the opener, the Bashers used the long ball to good effect, with Chris E, Tommy and Glen all finding the other side of the fence. The Bashers blew open a 5-5 game in the bottom of the fourth. All 11 batters came to the plate, sparked by Tommy and Glen's home runs. Chris E pitched tremendously, allowing only 3 earned runs over 5.

In the nightcap, the Bashers scored 7 in the top of the first, only to see their opponents put up 11 in their frame. However, the Bashers continued to battle. They tied it at 11 in the top of the second, but fell behind 15-11 after 3. A 5-run fourth inning gave the Bashers a 16-15 going into the bottom of the 4th, the last frame. With the tying run on third and the winning run on second and a 3-2 count, Chris delivered a nearly unhittable pitch that tied the batter in knots as he swung and missed.

The Bashers have now won four in a row, and are unbeaten in 5. They are next in action on May 30th at 8pm against Jay's Saloon. The game will be at Virginia Highlands.
