In an odd split-field doubleheader, the Just a Bit Outside Softball Club's Coed B2 and Mens B3 each had a game last night... at different fields.
While the Coed team dropped a decision to Terminal Tavern II 13 - 4 in a game that was a lot closer than the score indicates, the Mens team picked up its' first win of the fall season with a 16 - 9 victory over Wildwood.
In the 6pm coed game at Arbor Hill, the team got down early to Terminal Tavern II, but managed to bring the game back to 4 - 3 before Tavern put up a 5-run inning late in the game followed by a 4-run 6th. The club added a final run in the 7th on a solo home run by Chris Furman to give the game it's final score.
In the 7:30pm mens game at Coyne Field, the team broke out to an 11-0 lead after 3 innings in an offensive display they haven't been able to do too often this year. But Wildwood started to come back, scoring 4 runs in the 4th and 4 more in the 5th. But the club continued to plug away at putting up runs, including an inside-the-park solo home run by AJ Haynes.
The coed team's record goes to 0 - 2. Their next game is on Friday, October 2 at 9pm over at Firemans Field.
The mens team's record goes to 1 - 1. Their next game is on Tuesday, September 29 at 6:00pm over at Field of Dreams.
