After finishing the first half with a disappointing 2-7 stretch and dropping 7 games out of 1st place, Jack Bauer Squared opened the second half needing some good news. We didn’t get it.
In fact, things got so discouraging this blog lost momentum for a couple weeks. But let’s catch up on what we missed now.
Tigers of the Ontario Peninsula came out swinging at Tiger Stadium and took a 7-0 lead after 4 innings and cruised to a 7-3 win. A couple late homers by Kal Daniels and Rafael Ramirez were all we could muster.
The second game looked a lot like the first one, as we fell behind 5-0 in the second inning. We made a game of it when Gene Tenace hit a 3-run homer in the 6th to close the gap, but we wound up with another one-run loss, 5-4.
The series finale was back and forth early, but Tigers took over with runs in five straight innings and cruised to a 12-5 victory and a sweep.
Next up: three more interleague series.
