Two wins, but two very different games. Game 2 was a classic pitchers’ duel. Strassburg held the Hammers to one hit and no runs through six. Fortunately, new Folk Hero Kung Fu Panda came through with his second pinch homer of the young season, a game winning two run shot in the seventh following a Dansby single. Because Boxcar, Sliderman, and Newk tossed a two hit shutout (I’m not making this up), the Braves won 2-0.
In game 1, our ace Varsity Fried surrendered 8 runs and 5 runs in 2 innings. It was a nightmare first inning for Varsity.
