BOX Baseball - Game 49 at Arizona

Game 49- Sweet Jeebus, this new better hitting AI apparently has heavy duty rubber banding built in.  For the second game in a row we jump out to a comfortable early lead and for the second game in the row the D-bags come back with relative ease before winning with a walk-off hit.  This time the BOX lost 8-7 in 10 innings.

Becky got a surprise start, by which I mean it was really a surprise. I'm almost positive the game said Ray was going to start, which makes sense seeing has he is actually a starting pitcher.  Three batters into the game I realized the long-haired person on the mound was not blond enough to be Ray. Becky was solid, pitching out of major trouble in the 1st and third and leaving the game with a 7-2 lead.

That 7-2 lead came behind the continued Herculean effort by Kaylor. He homered for the 5th consecutive game, this one a 2-run homer to straight away center in the 1st. We strung together a bunch of singles to put up 4 in the 4th and were looking good.

At least we were looking good until Jay gave up a 3-run homer in the 7th and then Alicia gave up a 2-run homer in the 8th. After a one inning reprieve in the 9th, Greg continued our sieve-like bullpen efforts in the tenth when he gave up a game ending 2-out single to C.Burke, who I can only assume based on his .154 batting average, is actually Chris Burke from the TV show Life Goes On.

Luckily we built up a pretty good record before I upped the difficulty, so hopefully this rough patch will even out once I figure out how to keep from giving up big leads every time we go to the bullpen.
