Team Spector Group coming off an unfortunate loss to PEA looks to continue its playoff hunt in today's double header against FXF & MG/SS.
.......Maybe it was being 2nd in the standings with an undefeated record and Vegas having higher odds of Spector Group beating last place PEA than Mayweather beating McGregor. .....OR maybe it was the 4 week hiatus with the bad weather and with SG missing a few key starters that day but regardless there is no excuse for the loss and the lesson learned of the past game was that we should never take any game for granted as it brought Spector Group back down to earth. It was truly a wake up call for the team. Whether we are playing against the first or last place team .... Spector Group has to bring it every game.....And boy did Spector Group come out swinging harder than an Aaron Judge HR at a Yankee home game.
Due to the unpredictable weather Spector Group played its first double header, which featured Game 1 against FXF and Game 2 against MG/SS.
In Game 1.....Taking nothing for granted Team SG scored 15 runs to tie the team record for runs scored in a game in 4 innings of play in a mercy win Team SG hit its stride offensively in this game lead by Ed "too tall" Baust (3-3, HR -4rbi) and the new outstanding rookie phenom Ember "I owe KB a finders fee" Chabot (2-3, 1 rbi, 2 runs) . Final score Spector Group wins 15-1. Overall team effort and contribution for the win .....Game 1 ball goes to Josh "the HYPE" Feit who pitched lights out 4 innings with zero earned runs. (and had some hits 2-3, 1 RBI, 2B)
Coming off the solid win SG headed into game 2 against MG/SS. A team much better than their record and it showed as MG/SS lead off the top of the 1st inning with 3 runs. SG followed with 2 runs in the bottom half lead by bottom Chris "$20 less" Thibodeau (2-3, 2b,3b 2rbi) who has been hot as of late. The game was close till the bottom of the 4th as SG opened up with 4 runs to take the lead and never looked back. Final score Spector Group wins 8-3. Game 2 ball goes to Joe "$20 More" Carretta (3-3, 3 RBI, (2)2b, 1 run) who was solid on both ends of the field.
Great defensive efforts lead by Joe "Are those guns legal in NY?" Carretta & Brian "The Calculation" Chernick, who always seems to never break a sweat making those insane plays in left Field. We believe that in a split second he actually calculates the angle of the ball traveling at its peak hang time which gives you the ball's horizontal speed in meters per second then figure out the ball's velocity speed by multiplying half the hang time by the acceleration due to gravity which he then combines the horizontal and vertical speeds to get the total speed to figure out just where the ball will land and simply walks to where the ball is for the out in left field. It's just simply mind boggling how he just knows where to go to catch it. Great team effort Guys!
Hats off to both FXF and MG/SS for a well played game. Good luck on the rest of the season.
On to the next game......which will not be taken for granted for sure. (wink wink)
