KILROYS WIN, HOT DAMN, KILROYS WIN!

Highland, IN

Kilroys 18 Men of Valor 11

Finally the aluminum ASA approved lightning rods of Kilroys have been awakened and every aspect of the the Lansing Pub's game improved during this battle against the Men of Valor on Monday night.

Kilroys took the field for a 7:30 game against the Men of Valor this past Monday. Kilroys got off to a fast start that evening as the team's hitting improved vastly as they continued to score runs in the first inning. Kilroys scored 4 runs in the first and was feeling confident taking the field for the bottom half of the first.

Some inconsistent pitching in the first inning allowed the Men of Valor to get right back into the mix as a change in pitching technique gave the Men some free bases. After Pitcher Matt Piccirilli settled down and let the defense take care of things, the Kilroys squad came out victorious outscoring their opponent in the later innings.

In those innings, Kilroys tried to drain the clock, but the defense recorded a 1-2-3 inning. This gave Kirloys the opportunity to put the game away. Kilroys ended up scoring 6 runs in the top half of the 6th with time ticking down giving the team a lead of 18-11. The Men of Valor had to score 8 runs to disgrace the Lansing Pub, but Kilroys defense would squash any chance the Men thought they had. Kilroys D recorded a 4 up 3 down inning.

With some players slumping and others on a hot streak Kilroys players seemed to have grasped the concept of a team. The slumps are not just at the plate, but also on the base pads. The lack of hitting and the lackadaisical base running has been hoisted on the shoulders of veteran leadership in the likes of Master Blaster in Thunderdome.

If you look beyond Thunderdome, there is a place called Highland, IN and in that place is a team filled with fire, carrying the attitude....."2 teams enter, 1 team leaves"

Let's do it Kilroys.
