happened on the field, but of what happened off the field, and then on someone\u2019s leg; but lets talk about the game first.<\/p>\n<p>Having just played in the Brewers tournament, the SweatSox were short on healthy arms which meant GLE Cory Bond, who was hoping his next start wouldn\u2019t be until Game 5 of the 2014 Tier 2 Finals, had to take the mound and stop the all-purpose losing streak at \u201c14\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With the game still scoreless in the 3rd, Cornwall struck first after the SweatSox committed their 1st of 7 errors on the night.\u00a0 With the way both the River Rats (not giving up runs) and the SweatSox (not scoring runs) had been playing lately, that easily could have been the game, but the SweatSox showed the type of championship resolve that\u2019s been missing this year, and answered with 2 runs to take the lead.\u00a0 It was almost 3, but Armando Navarro was caught stealing home by about 80 or so feet to end the inning.<\/p>\n<p>GLE was in top form over the next 3 innings, getting out of multiple jams the defense got him into, even picking off two River Rats in the same inning.\u00a0 Unfortunately for #14\u2019s chances at a 3rd Tier 2 Sportsmanship &amp; Ability award, Angry Cory made his return somewhere between 4th and 6th stupid SweatSox error; leaving some of the newer SweatSox who\u2019ve never met AC before stunned and speechless.<\/p>\n<p>With the score tied 3-3 in the 6th and the GLE finger blister out in full, acting co-manager Marc Lett made the call to bring in Eric White to finish the inning off.\u00a0 After recording 2 outs in 2 batters, the stage was set for the SweatSox breakout inning of the season.\u00a0 5 runs on 3 hits, including a clutch 2RBI bases loaded single by Craig Cornell, and the SweatSox were 3 outs away from #W1.\u00a0 THC didn\u2019t have his best stuff, but it was enough to get the final 3 outs and his first (dirty) win of the season.\u00a0 SweatSox win, SweatSox win!!<\/p>\n<p><a

first hit in exactly 69 days.\u00a0 Sexy Eyes also gets a shoutout for making the winning lineup since The Authority doesn\u2019t do anything else when he pitches; The Greatest Hair in the

Hyjinx got off to a very special start for me (Shaun Keay) personally.\u00a0 While I\u2019m usually on top of things and rarely astonished, imagine my surprise when the team officially knighted me for all my hard work on the SweatSite, and as a reward they told me not to work on any more updates.\u00a0 They said I earned the rest of the season off, and if I disobeyed their orders I\u2019d be shipped to the Knights; I was still allowed to Tweet though.\u00a0 The SweatSox also said from this point forward, I am to be referred to as: Sir Shaun Keay:<\/p>\n<p><a
