DangerCats take out Inglorious Batters for fifth straight win and top spot in the league

From last week's game against the lowest of the low to the team tied (with the 'Cats) for top spot in the league, this week's DangerCats game was a hard fought victory that gave us sole possession of first place as the only undefeated team in the league!

The Cats started strong with Dave "Terpy" Terpstra leading the way with some stellar defence in the top half of the first snagging everything hit and thrown his way and following it up with a big dinger in the bottom to help the team jump out to an early lead. But the Inglorious Batters persevered and starting putting together some solid innings. They hit the ball well and even mercy-ed us to take the lead. But the 'Cats weren't fazed. In the bottom half of the inning we put together a mercy inning of our own, highlighted by a clutch, two-out two RBI single by Carolyn (welcome any time Carolyn!) straight up the middle.

Things got tense after a few close calls at the plate, some name calling, and an error in judgement when the Batters decided to "kick back" Prime's dribbler to the pitcher giving him a second chance - which he took full advantage of striking the killer blow with a two run shot. With a five run lead going into the final inning the famous Danger Defence was on display as the Cats shut 'em down 1-2-3 to take the victory. 

Great game by all! Enjoy this one the next two weeks and come back ready to show Rogers what DangerCats baseball is all about.
