Natural Day - 2013

It was close but the DoorMatts completed their Special Day Sweep of 2013 by besting the Ruffins 54-48.  Doesn't sound close?  In the 8th inning of the Cardinal/Ranger game, Carlos Beltran came up with a man on first and the Ruffins trailing by six.  A homerun would win it for the Ruffins, right? (homerun equals four total bases, two RBI and one run equals a total of seven to add to their 48 meaning they would beat the DoorMatts 55-54).  NOT SO FAST!  The guy on first was Matt Carpenter of the DoorMatts.  So while Beltran, with a homerun, would have picked up seven points, Carpenter would have picked up one on his run scored.  So that would have created a 55-55 tie.

Fortunately, for the DoorMatts and the scoring system, Beltran hit a sharp grounder to first forcing Carpenter at second.  So no more points were accumulated.  The reason I say "fortunately for the scoring system" is that we don't have a tie-breaker in place for either Special Day.

Revisions will be forthcoming, but for now Congrats to the DoorMatts on their 2013 Special Day Sweep!
