The Resurrection Life Warriors dropped a tough 7-3 contest to Immanuel last week and fell from 1st place to a tied for 3rd with Living Word. Life Church is back on top of the standings at 7-2 with St. Andrew Red in 2nd at 7-3. Living Word and the Warriors (the top two returning teams from last year) are locked at 6-3.
The Warriors were short-manned, with four regulars not available, so the team had a bit of a makeshift lineup in place. While Rez only started with 8 players, two more showed up and gave them a full 10.
Immanuel had one big inning, the fourth, where it scored six of its seven runs to secure the victory. The Rez Life bats just couldn't muster anything with only 8 hits in the game. Brendan Finn and Chris Burr provided half of the hits with two apiece. Chris walked away with his third Player of the Game award with his two hits, one run and one RBI. Lee Valle, Jeff Johnson, Jamy Antoine and Matt Shuster had the other four hits.
The defense held up pretty well and kept the runs off the board for the most part, but the offense just couldn't get any steam going. It was just one of those tough games.
The 9th game of the season brings us to the halfway point with the Warriors playing .667 ball. That is pretty much in line with last year's regular season record of 12-5-1.
Of course, at the halfway point, the league puts out its mid-season All-Star team and the team hands out its halfway honors. Check back soon for more details....
