The Ad Rush have a habit of playing extremely close ballgames. Games they should put away easily, but they somehow allow their opponent to crawl back in it.
That was the case yet again on Sunday in Garfield against the Muy Buenos.
The Ad Rush had the lead the entire game until the top of the 7th when the Muy Buenos tied the game, scoring 4 runs (6 in the 6th inning). Joe V. hit a "Inside the Park" Home Run immediately followed up by Rob Alvarez bombing a solo shot to deep left. Juan C. had a nice game for the Buenos going 4 for 5 with 4 singles & 4 RBI's.
The one thing Ad Rush bring to the table are "extra base hits". 8 Extra base hits in this game! They reel in runs off of their savvy base running & patient hitting. Players wait for their pitches. They've won 8 of their last 10 games. This team has a chance in the playoffs "if" they can get passes their mental errors. In Game 1 vs. Muy Bueno, it was Jeremy who ended the game with an RBI single in the bottom of the 7th to give Ad Rush the win, 15 -14.
Final Game 1:
Ad Rush - 15
Muy Buenos - 14
Game 2 was essentially a replica of Game 1. A 1 run win in the 7th inning, go figure. Lead off man Jonathan for Ad Rush had a nice game going 3 for 4, 3 runs scored, 3 hits & 3 RBI's. He was followed up by Team Captain Craig who went 3 for 3, 2 runs scored, a Walk & RBI. Dave B. batting near the bottom pulled a muscle in his bottom & had to exit the game. Hang in there buddy! Terrell has some speed (keep an eye on that in the future).
The Muy Buenos had another decent game, but just couldn't finish. A La Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl, the Muy Buenos had this game through 4 innings up by 4 runs. They just have been haunted by the same deficiencies all season, mental errors, giving up leads etc. However, they still come to play every game & give it 110%, you got to respect that!
Adrenaline Rush secures a # 3 seed for the playoffs. Let's see what they can do!
Final Game 2:
Ad Rush 13
Muy Buenos 12
