We've never before played a 10am game. There are several reasons. First, most players believe all games start at 6PM. Second, players who can tell time and read schedules often prefer to sleep beyond noon. Third, it is too close to bar time and veterans often don't sober up until the mid to late afternoon.
Today the Nationals played a 10am game.
It was one of the finest games the team has played this season. So much for preparation.
Behind the dominant pitching performance of Jim Jungbauer, the Nationals defeated the Appleton Legends 6-0. Jungbauer struck out 13 in route to the complete game shutout, dominating the offensive titan previously known as the Legends.
We've played 12noon games before. They, too, are filled with peril. It is another early start that challenges the sensibilities of our youth. Acting or reacting at this hour of the day cannot be taken for granted.
Janesville saw this. They jumped early and often, taking a 5-1 lead after 2 innings, cruising to a 6-3 victory over the local boys. Jared Stengal hit a two run homer and a double off the top of the wall to lead the otherwise meek offensive performance.
Tomorrow Sheboygan is on the slate. Winner gets bragging rights and an coveted 2-1 winning record in the tournament.
