Seattle Knots Series At Two Apiece
Seattle made the Cecil Cup series a best-of-three contest today with a 5-4 victory over the River Cities Paddlewheelers.
Seattle jumped to a quick 1-0 with a first inning homerun by George Rawlins. But Isidro Frau couldn't hold the lead, giving up two runs in the third on a homerun by Patrick Valdes and another pair in the fourth on a double, error and single.
But Hector Orozco proved no more capable of maintaining a lead, giving up two runs to the Monarchs on a walk, single and double, and then two more in the sixth on two singles and a double. The Paddlewheelers threatened the one run lead in the seventh with a leadoff double by John Hukill, but failed to advance him to third, let alone score him.

Y'know, Nate, that if you manage to lose this Cup, that not only do you lose any claim to Greatest Team Ever, but you get to have the dubious status of actually losing to Mack.
And I shall mock.

I sense a little tension in River Cities. There's something to be said for the perennial loser / underdog role. Even winning two games is seen as a major accomplishment for the lowly Monarchs whereas the "Greatest Team Ever" may have already lost its hold on that title simply by losing two, even if it now goes on to win the Cup.
I find the whole thing thoroughly amusing.

Better than me this season? No question.
Best team this season? Remains to be seen.
Best team of all time? Well, I have my doubts now...
