Astros 2
FTC Babybears 1
W: Sampson (3-0)
L: Guzman (2-1)
This was an awesome game. The Most Interesting Pitcher in the World returned to form with a brilliant 7-inning performance, giving up a single run early, and Sampson shut the FTC down for the final 2 frames. The Good Guys finally got to Zambrano late, scratching out a run in the 7th, and got Guzman into the weeds with the bases loaded and one out in the 9th. On a 1-2 count, the sinking feeling started to creep in that this one might be in danger of getting away, but Blum sent ’em home happy with a clean single to center for the big win.
This is a piss-poor excuse for a recap, especially for a game that I so wanted to do up right. Sometimes life keeps you from the electric word-making machine, and this is one of those times. Sorry about that.
