Hitmen's streak comes to an end

Hillsborough's streak finally came to an end yesterday with a 4-2 loss to the Endzone Animals. The Animals broke their own 4-game losing streak as well. Brandon Webb improved to 14-10 with 8 solid innings (8 H, ER, 8 K, 1 BB). Jorge Posada was 2-5 with 3 RBIs and Mike Lamb was 3-3. Philadelphia had some bad luck in the game, however, losing Adam Dunn for a week. His replacement, rookie Adam Lind also was injured pinch hitting for Dunn. Philadelphia considered picking up Adam Kennedy to fill their Adam void, but reconsidered the decision when they realized that Kennedy sucks.

A wild game broke out in Tampa Bay, with the Plunkers winning 17-11 over the Cutters. Right from the kickoff...er, first inning, both teams broke out scoring. Hoboken started with 4 runs in the first and Tampa countered with 3 of their own. The Cutters scored 3 more in the second and stretched the lead to 10-5 after their half of the 5th. Then all hell broke loose. The Plunkers scored 11 runs in the bottom of the 5th, going through 5 Cutters pitchers and taking a 16-10 lead. Though the Plunkers amassed 22 hits in the game, the Cutters scored their 11 runs on only 10 hits and three walks.

D.C.'s Derek Lowe pitched a complete-game, 6-hit shutout of Team Buddah yesterday as the Slappers reclaimed sole possession of 5th place overall. Derrek Lee was 2-4 with 3 RBIs and 2 homers in the contest for the Bushslappers.
