Those Who Live By the Sword

The Spider Monkeys finally finished on the wrong end of a one run game. They had a great streak going winning many of their recent games by one run, but tonight their luck ran out.

They played a pretty good Grangers team that battled them all night long. The Spider Monkeys did not begin the game in typical fashion. They scored first in the top of the first and then shut out the Grangers in the bottom of the first. The two teams kept it pretty even throughout and the game was an example of good pitching as I don't recall a single walk being issued by either side.

The fielding was not great by either side and costly errors allowed runs for both teams. Clutch hitting was the key as the Grangers scored on home run (essentially a fielding error helped out by a lot of speed). It was a very good game with great plays on both sides but only one team can win and tonight it was not the Spider Monkeys.
