Game Summary

• After allowing a surprising 2 runs in the top of the 1st inning to the worst team in the division, the ManBearPigs scored 8 runs in the bottom half which would be all they would need to win.
• The game was reasonably close considering the difference in the standings and there wasn't even a mercy.
• The ManBearPigs would score 2 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning, matched by 2 runs in the top of the 3rd inning by the opponents.
• The ManBearPigs would score 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning, matched by 3 runs in the top of the 5th inning by the opponents again, leaving the score at 14-7 after the top of the 5th inning.
• The ManBearPigs would outscore the opponents 4-0 for the rest of the game, however the top of the 7th and final inning was cut short by a catastrophic knee injury for a base runner at a 2nd base, ending the game.
• The game also featured another Doug Knock Out ("DKO") in the bottom of the 4th inning after a high fly ball crushed a red headed fellow in right center field directly in the ear.
• The 8-run 1st inning was aided by home runs from #5 Mike Frank (19th counted and 21st total) and #39 Brandon MacKay (a grand slam for his 7th counted and, including another home run out in this game, 15th total).
• #10 Doug Brascoupe and #11 Anne-Marie Lemelin both had perfect games at bat with 3 runs scored each.
• #5 Mike Frank made his second career start pitching and put up respectable numbers.
• The win improves the ManBearPigs' August record to 2-1 with an overall record of 23-6.
• The ManBearPigs are 3 points ahead of 2nd place, however, they have 3 games in hand so it looks very much like a 2nd place finish for the ManBearPigs.
