Game Summary

The Minge O'Toole's were forced to borrow a female player from an earlier game to field a team allowing to avoid another forfeit. Fielding 9 players an inning, the Minge O'Toole's were cruising through the first 2 innings with a 6-0 lead until they ran into pitching troubles in the bottom of the 3rd inning, allowing 7 runs on 5 walks from starting pitcher #19 Michael McKenney. With no outs and the bases loaded, relief pitcher #15 Michael Lavender took the mound and his first batter should have been a double play if not for an errand throw home after a force play at 3rd by #39 Brandon MacKay. The Minge O'Toole's got out of the inning 3 batters later but could only match the opposition from there on out, losing by two runs. #3 Jamie Lee Hogan had herself a great game scoring 3 runs on 4 hits and playing flawlessly at shortstop the entire game. #39 Brandon MacKay tied the team lead in real home runs notching his 6th of the season in the top of the 6th inning, a 2 run shot to cut the lead to 3 runs. #33 Stephanie Skelton tied the team lead in strike outs albeit with nearly three times as many at bats as her co-leader. The loss drops the Minge O'Toole's below 0.500 with a record of 10-11-2 and 1-3-1 in July with no relief in sight as there are only 2 games left in the season that the Minge O'Toole's play a team they have beaten this season.
