Even with the playoffs a thing of the past, the Bad News found a way to stay motivated, playing for bragging rights and inherent-self respect, in an 8-2 win over Legal Aid Society.
Before settling into its defensive groove, the Bad News gave up a pair of runs in the top of the first, eventually storming back with four runs in the bottom of the inning and ensuring that the fate of the game was never in doubt -- especially after tacking on a trio of insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth. It was a refreshing feeling, especially following the spanking Legal Aid had delivered a month earlier to the Bad News.
Art Glavas and Debbie Carreras combined to deliver 5 RBIs from the Nos. 7 and 8 slots in the batting order, with Glavas having a perfect 3-for-3 day. At the heart of the order, Julie "Wheels" Murphy and Raul "Rah-ooohl" Chiriboga got the job done both at the plate and on the base paths, together scoring half of the Bad News' runs. Ringer Joe Frega also made his presence felt, going 2-for-3 with a double, and providing innovative defense in the outfield on the way to cleanly fielding his chances.
Update: The Bad News closes out its season with two additional games, Tuesday (July 31) and Wednesday (Aug. 1). Both games will take place at the Coleman Oval, with 6 p.m. start times.
