Game Summary

• The 5th game of the regular season was played after 5 total rainouts this season and was played at Complex #2 in a steady rain against a team that hasn't lost in 2 seasons.
• As expected, the opponents went out early and scored a bunch of runs, including a 12-run bottom of the 4th inning which made the score 20-0 after 4 inning.
• Whether it was improved play from the Flaming Moe's or backing off of the opponent (or a combination of both), the final 2 1/2 innings were played much better.
• The Flaming Moe's could start to feel better with 5 runs in the top of the 5th, including a ridiculous home run in terrible weather conditions by #44 Tyler Arp (the team's first real home run of the season).
• Offensively, the opponents did not lift much and still scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning, pushing the score to 23-5 after 5 innings.
• A 5-1 6th inning win for the Flaming Moe's made the score 24-10 heading into the 7th and final inning.
• With a mercy loss on the line, the Flaming Moe's went out and scored 8 runs in the top of the 7th inning for a 24-18 final, avoiding a big mercy loss.
• The loss drops the Flaming Moe's to 1-4 for the season.

Scoring Notes:

• The Flaming Moe's hit into 3 fielder's choices for an actual batting average of 0.587
• The opponents hit into 4 fielder's choices.
• Game high 6 RBIs for #44 Tyler Arp and honorable mention for #25 Jonathan Quirt's 5 RBIs.
