Michael Murphy limits Clinic to 2 Runs, Haven sail to easy victory

HUCK FIELD -- After claiming their first victory of the season last Sunday, Kilbride Medical Clinic laid up an egg this afternoon.
Team Captain Chad Whelan put up a disgraceful performance, after a hard night of partying, going 0-4, which included grounding into the first ever 6-4-3 double play when a left handed player is playing second base.
The Clinics first round selection Kevin "Koo" Condon didn't help the cause either. After crashing a High School party in the wee hours earlier in the morning, Koo lead the game off with a strikeout. Later on, he dropped a routine flyball to center. Just a sad pathetic state.
In a much talked about pitching change, team Captain Jonny Murphy made a bold change taking out pitching vet Luke Stoyles and replacing him with Michael "Mental" Murphy. Murphy confused the Clinic all day long with his high repertoire of pitches, limiting the Clinic to only 2 runs, on 11 hits.
At the plate, Bob Whelan followed up last weekends 2 HR, 6 RBI performance, with another monster game going 2/4, HR, 5 RBI. As of today we're looking at the early favorite for KSSL MVP.
John Ball was the only player who showed up for the Clinic, earning POG honors, going 2/3, HR, 1 RBI, 2 R

Early start is more than enough for Dong Fong to handle Lions Club

HUCK FIELD -- Four consecutive singles, in the bottom of the first inning, was a sign of things to come for the Lions Club Sunday evening at Huck Field in Kilbride.
It wasn't the case in the top half of the first inning with LC scoring two quick runs with newly minted lead off hitter JJ Dray leading off the game with a single. Rob Smith followed it up immediately, banging out a two-run HR off starter Brad O'Connell. Oh how things can quickly change...
Hit after hit started to rattle the early season favorite Cy Young/Gold Glove pitcher Steve "Splinter" Kenny. There were mock chants of "SPLINTER! SPLINTER!", which clearly was problematic for the young phenom, who hails from the majestic Sesame Park. "Expletive them! Expletive them all!", Kenny was quoted, after the loss.
Tommy Harris, who entered the game batting an anemic .231, finally broke out of his early season slump, going 5/5, with 2 runs scored, earning Player of the Game honors. Harris who has been donning a hideous Jesus beard through the first three weeks of the season, finally shed some skin, and its result was a massive success. Will it hold up? I guess we will find out, but early consensus around the league says the reigning Batting Champ/Gold Glove Winner is on his way for another big season.
Adam Smith led the way for LC, earning the POG, going 2/4, with a run scored, and one RBI. Talk from up in the press box is that Robert Smith got shafted out of his third POG, mainly because his brother Rick is jealous of his siblings early season fame. Rob went 2/3 at the dish, a HR, 3 RBI, BB. How this didn't warrant a POG, is anyone's guess.
In the most entertaining moment of the day, Ryan "The Groper" Foley, pinch run for Adam Smith. Due up next, after Mike Baird, Foley had to score on the play, or he would lose his AB. Baird hit a single, where Foley scored all the way from second. Unknowing to Foley, he had to follow it up, right away with an AB. Gasping with a daunting similarity to Michael Jordan, when he went against the Jazz in the '97 NBA Finals with a very high fever, and against all odds, Foley followed suit with a run scoring double. Folks, a legend may have been born this afternoon. Keep "The Groper" on your short list of up and coming players.
Game Notes: Due to a family obligation Jason Thompson could not make the game...Billy Gorman arrived late in the 5th inning for reasons unknown...Batting AVG leader Mark Whelan missed the game with a sprained ankle; he is listed as day-to-day...Chris Murphy went 4/5, HR, after missing last weeks action...Ross Courtney, 3 RBI's.
