2010 league: Highlight of week 13Jun10

Some highlight to keep all the Oboyz updated with all the RaRa that is goin on..

First Firstly, Just caught the Spain 0-1Swiss. Where was Puyol? Let the drama mama begins!!! hahah!

Firstly, I am back from my paternity leave to join the club after my wife had delivered my cute baby boy on the 4Jun10. Man, this is how a family feels like. And like they say, It been a bundle of joy for me ever since. Appreciate the congratulations received from you guys.

To the team results. Oboyz is on the verge of making the second round again. After 2 more wins this week, we are just one win away from going through.

As expected, after first 2 games of weaker opponents, the Schools(morning 4-7)) and Redsox(14-9) proved to be a handful. The final scoreline seemed comfortable but the games had the players, especially Changyu and manager on the edge of their seats.

Schools 4-7 Oboyz.
"Nearly lost to School Boys"
Chunghao started and manage to hold for 4 innings to 4 runs. Chunghao's nemesis, Ben Ho got a solo home to build a 3 run lead.
Oboyz offense was silent for first 3 innings, lucky to get a run when Shifeng called safe by the first base umpire when the replay clearly showed that he was out by half a step. The tide started to turn when the offense uses bunts to hustle and get on base on errors.
In the end, the game was won on errors by the opponent. Alex closed the game in the final inning with no runs.

Notable defense play:
Late in the game, with runners on first and third 2 outs. William fooled the runners makin them thinkin he's goin to throw out the runner goin to 2. When the pitch was made, William hold up the throw to 2nd to throw 3rd. Runner was caught in a rundown and tagged out at home eventually.

Oboyz 14-9 Redsox
"ShiFeng drives the team crazy"
Hero=Shifeng (3 for 3, a walk, 2 runs). Villian=Shifeng (2 errors, 5 runs resulted).
Oboyz scored 8 runs in the first inning but the Redsox got back 7 runs by the third inning. There seemed to be an error made at every position, that's how many errors we made.
First inning, Shifeng misjudged a flyball to the leadoff who scored subsequently.
Third inning, a basesloaded single got through SF's legs cleared all the base runners, leaving pitcher, Alex Lim thinking "WTF..."
Oboyz had 2 bases loaded inning without scoring a run, sigh. Offense eventually turned up in the later innings, scoring 6 more runs, highlighted by a 2 run Homerun by Slugger William Tanato, a team first this season.

Notable defense play:
SS Roujie converted a DP after catchin a line drive and in the fastest time threw to Qingwei at 2nd to catch the runner out.
Catcher William courageously block the plate from the runner and tag out the runner after receiving the throw from Hongwei. Ironically, he started the play by overthrowin 1st base thereby keeping the runners running.

That's all there is.. 1 more win.
