Carroll Shines as WaterWorks Drops Goodfellas

In a game day decision Mike Carroll was called to mound to pitch against WaterWorks' summer league rival, Goodfellas. Carroll, who was filling in for a scratched Pete Bergan, was relentless in pounding the strike zone, getting in front of most of the batters he faced. Despite a couple of mistake pitches that turned into extra base hits, 8-ball was able to pitch out of jams giving up only one earned run in seven innings. It was a defensive laps in LC by Chris Weyand that lead to two unearned runs on a basehit turned little league homer. Due to a solid defensive performance by WW there really aren't any other nominations for boner of the week so we are going to give that to Weyand.
WW's game against GF lived up to it's expectation as the game stayed tight for much of the first half. WW was able to string together some hits followed by some timely extra-base hits to get a 6 run lead. As GF tried to fight back WW would always answer by coming back and winning the inning. Throughout the game the 6 run lead never seemed comfortable, but Mike was able to close the door and stayed strong through all seven innings. The win against GF gave WW sole possession of first place with one more game left before the first half of the season is complete. WW will face long time nemesis Austin Ave. this Friday at 7:00. A dangerous AA team will be looking for it's first win of the season after dropping their only two games of the season by one run. Making matters more interesting for this game will be the internal struggles of Jay's allegiance. If you don't recall, we were first introduced to Jay on Friday nights when he was playing for AA in their last fall season. Buckshoot was quick to recruit Jay and bring him into the WW family but some internal sources have revealed that Jay's heart may have never left AA. I think we will all find out this Friday night, where Jay's loyalties lie.
