How much Wood could a Bay Sock chuck if a Bay Sock could chuck Wood?
10 runs worth.
How do you like them haiku apples Bill?
San Rafael, Ca – In front a decent sized crowd, the Baysox capitalized early on Wood fielding mistakes on their way to victory Wednesday night at Albert Park. The collection of fans in attendance was an eclectic group, there to enjoy a beautiful summer night under the lights. No one knows for sure if the crowd was there to watch the game or to pass the time on a mushroom trip, but it was a sizable crowd nonetheless.
Early on, it came clearly apparent that whoever this Albert character was, did not like Wood, contrary to several eye witness reports taken in the back room of Moby Dick bar in the Castro.
Jevon “don’t forget to bring your yoga” Mattiassi startedthe game and cruised through the first two innings unscathed. Offensively, Wood struck early with a run in the first inning as well.
Things were looking good until the third inning when the women and children went to bed and Wood started looking around for their Mommy.
Walking the leadoff hitter in an inning leads to a run 70 percent of the time. Walking the first two hitters in an inning leads to a run infinity percent of the time. On this night these proven statistics extracted from the McDevitt Almanac which lack any sort of ounce of validity, held true. The Bay Sox put six runs on the board facilitated by a couple of walks, hits and a throwing error by Mattiassi which turned a sacrifice bunt into a triple.
Luckily, Mattiassi has a team filled with guys ready to pick him up, pat him on the back and encourage him to keep fighting. The Wood is stron-
“If it wasn’t for the errors we’d be out of this, mostly the error made by you by the way”
-Ryan Tovani, offering Mattiassi yet more un-couragement after his throwing error allowed two runs to score and a bunt to be scored as a triple. Tovani lost his position as team therapist shortly afterwards
From there the deficit turned to out be insurmountable and despite Wood’s best efforts, and more runs tacked on, the BaySox cruised easily to victory.
Wood lost the game 10-2, dropping their season record to 7-9. Not too impressive but good enough for second place in the wild Ocean East Division.
Coach Brandon "I let my ice cream run down my cone on both" Sides, was not in attendance.
Wood faces division foe Blue Claws Saturday morning in Larkspur, Ca. Great seats are still available.
