Full Disclosure: we were assisted by 3 of those guys reaching base via walk, and the 4<sup>th<\/sup> was a ROE.&nbsp;Kent Johnston had the only hit of the inning, a bases loaded 2-run single, but sadly he was thrown out by a mile trying to take 2<sup>nd<\/sup> on the throw home (we measured it later, it was actually 6.914 feet).&nbsp;&nbsp;Something had to be slowing him down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes answered back with 3 in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> inning, all unearned though thanks to Whitey, who didn\u2019t protest a ball that probably may have most likely taken a bad hop on him.&nbsp;Errors &gt; Earned Runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kent Johnston, Ross Hughes, and Jaspreet Sanghra each had RBI\u2019s for the SweatSox in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, reestablishing the 4-run SweatSox lead: The Director of Green had a single that scored Jason Klein, The Merchandise had a sacrifice fly that scored Marc Lett, and Bollywood had a double that scored the Captain of Gout (and was balls deep enough to get me (Shaun Keay) from 1<sup>st <\/sup>to 3<sup>rd<\/sup>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extra run support was all the Assistant <em>to the<\/em> Manager needed to keep it rolling on the mound.&nbsp;&nbsp;At one point the Arsonist retired 12 straight Coyote batters; that has to be a personal record.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even Neal Phadnis, who moonlights as an umpire and has seen the patented banana pitch (\u201cIt\u2019s actually called the Daisy Duke\u201d \u2013Ross Hughes) hundreds of times, couldn\u2019t do anything about it, going 0\/4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Phadnis promises he\u2019ll go 4\/4 next time if we throw John Groves though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes made a pitching change in the 6<sup>th<\/sup> inning, but the SweatSox were able to quickly take advantage of the colder arm and scored 4 more runs, highlighted by a Chris Tiddy&#8217;stone 2-run single down the left field line.\u00a0\u00a0Ramage held court in the 7<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0SweatSox win 11-4.
