Lagers Rout Loggers 19-5 in the Twin Oaks Season Opener

LINCOLN, Vt. (LDP)-- J-Rod worked through two mid game trades to power the Lagers to a Friday evening 19-5 rout of the Loggers. It was another drizzle filled LowBall outing as Twin Oaks officially started the season. Once again despite less than stellar conditions, the LowBall faithful showed up in force.

J-Rod got the nod for the win and player of the game. His WAR for the game was a strong 0.428. With a rebuilt repertoire of pitches, he threw 3 hitless, scoreless innings and racked up 9 Ks along with 2 one and dones. From the other side of diamond, J-Rod boosted impressive offensive numbers, crushing 2 homers, 2 doubles, and driving in 8 runs.

The Lagers also benefited from a phenomenal bounce back game from Trot Thompson. After struggling through Wiffmorial Day with a WAR of -0.558, Trot exploded for a game best WAR of 0.544. He pitched two shut-out innings allowing only 2 hits. Trot benefited from the Lagers' stingy defense as his field netted 5 pop-outs and 1 ground-out. From the plate, he was patient and reaped the rewards with 10 walks, 1 double, 1 homer, and 4 ribbies.

Ox continued on his rampant offensive start to the season, consistently hitting the ball with authority. In his post game media session, the man of leisure stated, "It was like watermelons were coming in at me, well until those 2 final innings."

Though the game was never close, the LowBall league enjoyed some more ridiculously serious fun or was it seriously ridiculous fun. Either way, it will be a sad week away from the plastic.
